Okay, so this is going to be a complicated post -
- HDD Momentus - This HDD was installed in my laptop as OS drive and still has OS installed on it.
- HDD Orico - This is an HDD taken from an older system and I was using it as external HDD in an Orico enclosure. This drive has some personal docs, Movies, Pics only.
- 860Evo SSD - I recently bought this SSD and replaced the Momentus.
I cloned Momentus onto 860Evo and then installed 860Evo in my laptop. Then I tried to install Momentus in a Caddy as a storage drive but it wouldn't detect. So to check if the Caddy is working correct, I tried installing Orico via Caddy but that didn't detect either.
So I put the Orico back into enclosure but now that isn't showing up in 'This PC' or Disk Management at all but is getting detected as 'NS1068' in Devices and Printers. This Orico drive was working smoothly before this. Then I put Momentus in enclosure and connect to laptop, it doesn't show anywhere except Devices and Printers under same name 'NS1068' and responds to nothing.
Also -
When I put Orico in enclosure and connect, there is just a stable Blue light on enclosure (and no blinking red light - which means the drive isn't running?) and..
when I put Momentus in enclosure, there is stable blue light and a blinking red light (which means that it is atleast responding to the connection in some way?)
Also, none of the drive is responding when connected via Caddy.
When connected via enclosure, both drives show an option to 'Eject NS1068' which when clicked just hangs. Secondly, when I 'Rescan Disks' in Disk management after connecting the HDDs, it just hangs. I have tried changing the USB-to-micro-B cable as well but no change. I have also tried EaseUS Partition manager but no response there either.
