"THE DEVICE IS NOT READY"

[TYRONESNOOP]

Hello,
I HAVE A SATA HARD DISK, AND I'M TRYING TO GET PICTURES OFF OF IT. BUT WHEN I ATTACH IT TO MY SATA USB CABLE AND GO TO DISK MANAGEMENT, IT SAY'S MY DISK IS NOT INITIALIZED. WHEN I TRY TO INITIALIZE IT, AND ERROR MESSAGE SAYS, "THE DEVICE IS NOT READY"

Can you connect the drive directly to the MB by a SATA cable?
