Hi, i recently just got a new computer with windows 7 and I can't get my hard drive to work.
The hard drive is a Seagate Barracude 7200, 10. I'm using a SATA HDD Enclosure and I want to recover files from the hard drive. The hard drive was originally in my old computer, I unplugged it and put it straight in the enclosure.
The hard drive that was originally in the enclosure (a WD1200) works fine, I've reconnected it and it still works like it should.
I can see it under device manager as a disk drive, called "ST325082 5QE3ZC78 USB device", but there's nothing in disk manager.
I did get disk manager to work at one point, I unplugged it and plugged it back in and it worked, but when I tried to allocate a disk number it lagged and the window became unresponsive, it has not appeared in disk manager since.
I've tried to look for a solution on dozens of other forums but I can't find anything, please help
