Hullo.
I bought a trekstor 500 gb about a year ago. I've been using it until now. About six-seven months, i had to break the seal to reconnect the sata-to-usb card.
Then, i didn't use the device for about a week. When i went to reconnect it, vista told me "the usb device plugged in cannot be recognized".
Thinking it was a connection froblem again, i opened it up and tried reconnecting. No success. So then i tried to simply connect it (the hdd... a WD5000AAVS 0ZTB6, i think) via sata to the mobo.
However, it still at first gave me the "cannot be recognized". After rebooting, i tried going into bios to check some info, and i see that in the place where there would normally be either "COMPANY MODEL #" or "NO DEVICE", there is simply a blank space.
Just wondering if there's any way to recover the data, or fix this on site.
Thanks in advance,
Pejman
EDIT// My comp's specs:
MOBO: Pegatron Corporation Narra3 3.02
CPU: Phenon X4 9650
Other Hard: Samsung
it's an HP Pavilion m9402f.
