I have an old IDE Seagate Barracuda, model ST340016A drive I removed from my old desktop pc.
I purchased an external drive adapter, which works well with several other drives I have, but this particular drive is not detected. I can hear the drive spin up when powered, but nothing shows up.
Can anyone help me detect the drive, or retrieve the information on it?! Thank You

I used to use a program called Recover My Files for old burned out hard drives that couldn't be seen by Windows. It worked great.
