Question Not able to access the data from desktop hard disk

[DCB007]

I had desktop pc which was not used for several year. Now I wanted to recover the data from the its hard disk. when I connected that internal hard disk with SATA to USB cable on my laptop. Its showing in the taskbar that some USB storage is detected. But nothing is showing in the THIS PC. spinning sound is coming from the hard disk which means platter is rotating but head is not reading anything. what can I do ??

3.5" hard drives need more power to run than a usb port can deliver.
There are some powered adapter cables that will do the job. Try one of them.

Are your usb ports the blue ones which can deliver more power?

Is your cable looking like this with two usb ports:

Or like this with a wall plug:

If you are getting sufficient power to the drive, and no luck, I would conclude that the drive is defective.
There are some data recovery outfits that can recover data if you really need it, but they will be very expensive.

Exactly same, one with wall plug. one time it got detected also as shown in image. But screen became unresponsive. After that waited some time thinking it might get responsive but in vain. so I disconnected and connected it again after that it never detected till now.

Do you still have the original desktop PC around that contained the drive, and does the drive work in that system?

I have that, but its not working therefore took out the hard disk from the CPU and tried to run it on my laptop..
