I plugged in my friends HDD to backup my data and it doesn't show up in windows. It does show up in BIOS so I know its working, since my friend uses it too. I also checked disk manager and what not but its not there as well. Please help!!!!
 
Hi there NPhonix,

It is really strange that a properly working HDD is not recognized by Disk Management but BIOS.

My advise would be to double check the connections. Try using different cables as well as a different SATA port. Attaching it to a different system would be a good idea as well.
