so i dropped my laptop & it wouldn't work. thought i'd pull the 2.5" ide hard drive out & pick up the usb cable. connected to my desktop....but can seem to get it to work. looked around here & saw some possibilities, but no luck on any so far...

Device manager sees the USB interface. Disk Management does not see it, because the actual drive is toast and cannot be read.

A driver won't help. And it being the old C drive does not matter.
Unless there is some absolutely critical data on there that does not exist anywhere else....I'd just write it off as dead.
