He wants to do it himself, there is a chance that it's just the enclosure.
@Square do you think it's worth buying a cable just to diagnose? (Chances are it won't fix anything)
Hi,firstly thanx for your help till here, i didnt get around to testing my hard drive till now.
i bought the sabrent sata drive, first time i plugged in the hard drive to test it, it showed up properly and worked for the few minutes i tried it, but now its not showing up anymore.
I tried through disk management and it shows up there but says disk not intialized,
Whats the next step should i intialize it or is that like formatting which will wipe the data ?
