Did you buy a power adapter?

From the Amazon page - "Note: hard drives from 3.5 inches need an external power supply !!!"

There's one recommended on the same page as the adapter - https://www.amazon.co.uk/ZOZOTMUniversal-Regulated-Switching-Replacement-Electronic/dp/B017OMEW4Q/ref=pd_bxgy_107_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=FYPMGXZG2Z8GAXFVSKZB

You should probably buy a hard drive enclosure instead then. The cable you bought is for desktops, where you have extra power cables on the power supply to plug the drive into power. In a laptop, you don't have these connections. An external enclosure would provide a box to hold the drive, with cables for both power and usb.

?????
[strike]That will NOT work with a 3.5" drive to connect to a laptop. Not even a little bit.[/strike]

I take that statement back. That universal power adapter might work.
I'd still get a regular USB-SATA dock.

The cable you bought would work with a SSD and some 2.5" drives.

For a 3.5" drive connecting via USB to a laptop, you need a USB-SATA dock.

But in the one i bougth says 2.5/3.5 sata o.o

 

[Jesse_20]

It also says in 2 places that it will not work with conventional 3.5" drives without a power adapter (not included).
Desktop drives require more power than a laptop drive, and usb just can't provide that own it's own.

Well...
We're telling you it won't work.
The description says it won't work.
The laptop is telling you it doesn't work...

Who ya gonna believe?
