I accidentally fried my laptop the other day and I'm trying to retrieve the info from my hard drive. I put my HD into the 2.5" SATA enclosure, and then connected it to my desktop via USB A to USB A. However, my computer does not recognize the hard drive at all. I've tried going into "Disk Management", but I either 1) don't know how to do it right or 2) that's not the solution.
I can connect my external HD and my desktop will recognize that, but not the laptop HD.
Some info that may be helpful in the diagnostics:
I have Windows 7 on my desktop. My laptop HD is a is a WD Scorpio Blue.
Please keep in mind that I'm not super tech savvy. I've learned stuff along the way, but I still need to hear an explanation in layman's terms.
Thank you!
Also, I looked through this guide: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/265764-32-guide-installed-disk-system
and found that they suggested I ask about my problem if I can't find my HD in the BIOS.
