Hello, maybe a silly question, how are you powering the drive?
Hello, maybe a silly question, how are you powering the drive?
The jumper you can just remove it or put in the cable select position 1-2. You will need an externally powered USB caddy/enclosure for IDE (PATA) drives. These should still be available.
I have used one with the exact same WD IDE drive from my old PC. Then you will probably have to take ownership of the contents, this I recall takes some time with a lot of Folders/Files. Then you can just copy stuff off.
Yes it's my bad, I mixed it up with SATA.
Anyway. It is powered by an AC adapter, so it should be running without problem.
I got LINUX up running and it appeared in the file browser, tried different bracket settings, however it appears only as 0 bytes.
Should I suppose it is dead since I cannot reach it?
Download this program and check the health of the drive. I gave an example in post #10.
