Hi everyone,
In a nutshell I bought a cheap Sata to USB adapter off Ebay.
Currently I have a HP Dv6 Laptop and trying to recover some data off 2 Hard drives.
Hard drive 1 came out of an external hard drive enclosure which from memory is a Seagate 500gb. When I use the adapter and plug it into my laptop (USB 3.0) it connects and then disconnects repeatedly. Have disabled USB settings in Power Options and also had a look in disk management but doesn't show up.
Hard drive 2 came out of a Dell XPS which is a Hitachi 100gb Sata, is doing the same thing as HD 1. If I plug them into the USB 2.0 it will sometimes connect but won't show up in Disk Management.
I sometimes also get a message saying I have to format the drives...
Could it potentially be the Ebay adapter? Or is there a particular bug that happens with the OS? (Windows 7 64bit)
Has anyone got any suggestions or idea's that I could possible try? Help would be really appreciated
Thank you,
Chad.
