I had an external hard drive with a 500 Gb capacity on it, and a while back the whole thing stopped working. I was hoping I could pull my data off of it by putting it inside the desktop. So I bought a SATA cable to put it inside the desktop I have, but the drive prevents it from turning on. I'm pretty sure it's the drive, because I have another hard drive, the same capacity except it came from my old laptop, and the computer runs fine, and I can access all the files from it. I was hoping someone could help me out and let me know if this drive from the external drive is a lost cause, or if I'm just not doing this right.
And another question, if the drive won't work inside the desktop, could I open up the hard drive and move the internals into a different hard drive and would it work that way?
Thank you.
