I tried to use new branded “R-Driver III” USB 2.0 TO SATA IDE CABLE device with Laptop HD and Desktop HD (I set it to slave) but it did not show me the HD , although I checked Disk Management.

I thought the problem with “ R-Driver III ”, about another one branded as “Ritmo”

Still the same problem is going on with both Hard Disks

Both hard disks are working if I hook them into a computer

The device that I was talking about is similar to the link below

I have something similar. Works well.

What I have is a power brick for drive power and a small, flat plastic USB adapter with sockets on three sides for the three different kinds of drives: SATA, 3.5" IDE, and 2.5" IDE. The fourth side has an on-off switch, USB cable, and a socket for the molex connector on the brick. Is this similar to what you have?

If I have a SATA drive connected, the power brick plugs into the USB adapter. If I am using a 3.5" IDE drive, the power brick does not plug into the USB adapter. It plugs into the drive.

Any IDE drive you plug into it should be set to "Master".
