My HDD broke due bad sectors on it. Last weekend i've bought SATA to USB wire. It worked for some hours, after that it stopped working. I don't know what the problem is, but it's defenetly in cable. I've tried with different pc and hdd. Error code for this cable, when connecting to pc: 43. Something about that cable is not recognized. Is here any way to fix it? If yes, how? And what do i need to do that?

Unfortunately, it seems like your SATA-to-USB cable is faulty. :(
As I suggested above, you'd better get in touch with the retailer you bought it from and ask for a replacement product.
I'm afraid there's nothing else you can do to fix the issue by yourself.

Good luck!

Hey there, Di1997!

You mentioned that your HDD had to many bad sectors and failed, I believe it won't get properly connected ever if it's indeed dead like @drtweak mentioned.
As for the cable, if you've tried it on another computer and connected it with a different HDD then it might be faulty as well.
I'd suggest to contact the support of the retailer you've bought it from and ask for replacement!

Good luck!

Thanks for fast answers, but the problem is in cable itself. I've tried another working HDD on same cable, to make sure that mine HDD is still work. Error: That USB is not recognized. Error code: 45. Saying that this device is not connected.
 


Does this error appear on the other PC that you've plugged it in?
If it doesn't I'd suggest to uninstall one-by-one all the drivers under USB controllers in Device Manager.
Then reboot your computer and wait until Windows Updates re-install the missing the drivers.
Here's a tutorial you can use: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff553572%28v=vs.85%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
