[SOLVED] Computers Are Not Recognizing My Old HD Attached To Enclosure

wingedhussar88 · Nov 27, 2018

Hello guys, I have a bit of an issue. A month ago my female cat kept using my PC and apparently peed on it, killing the motherboard. I ended buying a new one with new ram and a processor and I have a 4 TB WD Harddrive that I am trying to get some vital data from. I bought a Sabrent docking station and plugged it into my new PC and while the station is being recognized, the hard drive isn't.

I tried doing the something with a old laptop and got the same result. I really need to get data like resume and passwords from there and I was wondering what should I do from here?

What version of windows did you install? And whats the mobo?

Someone else on here recently had the same problem.
Was your drive encrypted?

Paul NZ :

For the original computer it started with Windows 7 but upgraded to 10. New one started with 10 when I had someone moved the parts for me.

As for the motherboard, the original was an ASUS Hero IV and the new one is a ROG Strix 8350-F mobo.

Ok so the original was Intel, the new system / mobo is AMD.

As Misar said is the hdd encrypted. Did you use bitlocker or something, if the 4 TB was on the Hero?

What happens, if you connect the 4 TB to a sata port on the B350?? Can you get into it?

No it was not encrypted. Sorry didn't see that question. It was on the computer when I had the hero. I haven't attached the internal hard drive to the inside of the computer. The guy said he didn't have enough room to put it in the case I got (he put in the two SSDs I have). The new case is Eclipse P300.

Just connect a sata cable and power to the 4TB while it's outside the case

Unfortunately I am unable to get access to gear needed to access to basement to the power supply. I have not really messed with this case much and my case didn't come with instructions.

Did you install the drivers for the docking station? There are also firmware updates for it. Did you update the firmware?

wingedhussar88 · Nov 27, 2018

It did not come with any drivers,

Is that it? Altho Win10's drivers maybe better

Paul NZ :

I will try that tomorrow as it is pretty late here. However one thing I will mention is when I tried to use it on this computer it killed my wifi.
