G'day to all, I recently bought a new PC with win 10 on board. I now find that I want to retrieve some data from my old PC which is unserviceable. I purchased a 22 pin sata to usb cable.
When plugged in I find the Device manager will not find this new drive. The led's on the cable light up but the drive is not running. The old HDD is a 3.5' unit which ran on win 7. The old drive is a Samsung HD502HJ/b (part No.) and is in working condition. Update My Audio Drivers Windows 10. Mouse Pad Driver For Windows 10. I am wondering if it requires a driver of its own? Or something a more diverse problem like a usb 2.0 or 3.0 conflict, maybe.
I am quite elderly and would appreciate any help from a kind person willing to help. Thanking you in anticipation, MaurieT. Welcome to the Ten Forums! As I understand you bought a USB to Sate type cable that lights up but the drive doesn't do anything? Did you connect any power cable like the 12v 15pin Sata power connector from an external power supply for example? Sound Card Driver For Windows 10. If you only connected a data conversion cable the drive itself isn't powered up in order to be detected properly. You have two options for seeing this solved quickly.
