I recently purchased some IDE/SATA to USB cables and bpower supply to try and extract some data from an old hardive. When I plug it i, I hear the drive spinning, my windows xp sp 3 laptop tells me that it is installing my WD 36400 Enhanced IDE hard drive. Lenovo Thinkpad T510 Drivers Windows 10. It tells me the hardware is ready for use. I see it on my eject devices list as a USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge. When I look at the properties I see the description of the kind of hard drive that is connected, but not on my drive list. A little while after that, the laptop goes unresponsive. A few moments after that I hear the familiar tone of something having been disconnected and its now gone of the eject list.

Told me there was a problem installing my hardware and then it ejected itself again. Are there any other methods to get my files off this hard drive? Hi Mordun!:-) I have an old PATA based external HDD that's been exhibiting the same problem recently.But only from a month ago, after I'd swapped out the old Hitachi 120GB disk for an old/knackered Quantum 40GB unit that I had knocking around. (120GB is still a huge disk by my standards, and I only needed a disk for carrying 30GB of non-critical data around.Hence the swap!:-) Going on my own experiences therefore, I'd like to suggest that it's the drive that's the problem part here and not the cable.:-) In my case, I've found that the drive can often be mounted, but a bit of patience is often required.:-) • Firstly, unplug all non-essential USB devices - I've found that the more free space on the serial bus, the better my drive behaves. • Power up the disk and give it a few minutes to spin-up and get going, then plug it in to a free USB port (Not on a hub!). Keep the disk powered on at all times whilst following these steps.
