I am trying to recover some data from a HDD for a guy I work with. The HDD is a old Western Digital. We have hooked it to a IDE to USB and the computer recognizes that it is connected but it asks to initialize the HDD but no matter what we try it will not initialize and gives an error. Is there anything that we can do? Thanks in advance for the help.
