Hi,
I have a serious problem.
I built a new pc for my nephew.
I took out the old hard drive he had on his old pc (It is a Seagate barracuda 1tb) and connected it to the new pc.
The hard drive is not recognized in the bios / windows.
In fact I do not think it is getting any power.
I tried to change sata cables and power cables and nothing happened.
I tried connecting it back to the old pc and it wasn't recognized.
I took it to my own home and connected it to my pc and it is also not recognized.
It is around 3 - 5 Yeats old. There is nothing that would cause it to stop working like that. I just took it out and connected it normally to another motherboard. It didn't make any clicking noise or had any problems.
What can I do?
I have to have access to the files on it, It has files important for the entire family and they cannot lose the files.
Thanks for the help!
