I am trying to clone my old HDD over to a new HDD SDD hybrid. I am connecting it to the old computer through a SATA to USB cable, but the drive is not detected by the computer. The drive is powered, and gets pretty damn hot, but the computer does not recognize the drive in any way-nothing happens.

Grateful for any answer.

Try the cable with another hard drive see if that works, or find a system to try the hard drive in on the motherboard, will let you know where the issue is.

It's on a laptop. I've tried two different adapters, one is 3.0 and the other 2.0 they both have different power adapters. Nothing happens what so ever when i connect it. The drive is powered and spins, but as far as my computer is concerned it doesn't exist.
