My buddy has an old IDE hard drive that he would like to get some information off of but he is running into trouble. First off, what I do know is that he is running windows 7 and his main drive is connected via SATA.
He connected the IDE drive to the middle grey ribbon connector as well as the top black connector and neither would seem to recognize the drive. It wouldn't show up in BIOS or in disk management. He tried screwing around with the jumper settings on the hard drive and this is where we are totally lost haha. I tried reading up on it but it doesn't really make sense to me. It seems he needs to have it as the slave drive so he took the little tab thats over the pins completely out.
His IDE hard drive is a DiamondMax Plus 9 60gb if that helps.
Am I totally missing out on something/ is there an easy way to figure out how to get it recognized?
I appreciate any help!
