Question Installed a new motherboard and not recognizing old hdd

[willibphx]

I installed a new motherboard and cpu running Windows 10. My two SDD drives and CD-ROM all run fine but my HDD shows up but no drive name and wants me to format the drive to name it. I have a lot of stuff on there I do not want to lose as I used it to store things like my music library where high speed access is not needed. Shows up in Disk Manager and Device Manager. Made sure drivers are current as well. Disk Manager shows it as healthy but no data.

old spec and new spec?
was the data encrypted?

 

[willibphx]

Data was not encrypted, motherboards were comparable, upgraded from a I7 6700 to an I7 9700.

what the model of the hdd?
try other port on the motherboard?

 

[willibphx]

HDD is WDC6400 Tried multiple ports per the motherboard manual to avoid conflicts with M2 slots.

 

[rgd1101]

test it on the old system?
that a really old hdd. don't have backup for the data?

 

[popatim]

Were these in a raid, jbod, or Windows storage pool?

 

[willibphx]

Old system is fried hence the new motherboard and cpu. No backup, not critical just pain in the but to restore. Lot of music.

What do you mean fried? How do you know the drive wasn’t damaged damaged when the system fried?

 

[willibphx]

Power surge is my best guess. Disk Management shows it being fine just needs to be remapped which requires formatting. I had this problem before when I put the drive in the old PC and ended up starting over and was hoping to avoid doing it again.
