Hi there,
For the past six months I used a SATA to USB to connect my previous laptop hard drive (a Seagate Momentus ST9750420AS) to my new laptop. Everything was fine till yesterday when it suddenly disappeared from Disk Management. In Device Manager, I found it 'hidden' and greyed out under disk drives. I uninstalled it from Device Manager in the hopes that after a restart it would be picked up again, but alas it is just spinning and not detected.
I tried with an even older hard drive (a WD3200BEVT), same result.
My Kingston USB stick found no problem connecting though.
Is it a driver issue?
Thanks
