Hello,

Please help me solve this problem.
I have an old HDD: Seagate U Series 5 and a USB adapter. I want to recover some old files from it.
When I connect it to my laptop, nothing shows up. The HDD is spinning when connected to the power adapter but how can I access it?

Nothing's wrong with the adapter because I tested it with another HDD (SATA) and it's working perfectly.

Any idea, please?

I think it's already set to master... :(

EDIT: Somehow it started working! I just pulled out the cable and connected it again and again until Windows recognized it. :bounce: :D
