ok so I am working on a HD SATA from a Laptop. The laptop wont come on because it is dead and the lady doesnt have the charger for it. So I'm like ok I will just get the files from the HD and give them to you (on a USB). I am using an USB to SATA/IDE cable and when I plug the HD up I get the beeping sound and its not recognized at all. My OS is Windows 7 Professional and the OS for the HD is Windows Xp, is that the problem? thanks in advanced

The OS version has nothing to do with it.

You should have bought a proper external 2.5-inch hard drive enclosure as those crude looking converter cables often don't work properly, if at all.
