Night drive will jenkins. Check for the USB drive in Windows Explorer; Note Connecting your USB external hard drive into a non-powered USB hub can cause a lack of enough power to operate the external drive. Instead, plug it directly into your computer. If this method does not resolve your issue, proceed to Method 2. Hi, I got a WD 500 GB hardrive which is not being recognized on my system or any other ( my a Win 7 Desktop and 2 other Win Xp Sp3) When the WD5000BEVT is being connected a workstation it gets detected and the appropriate drivers are installed( for the sata controler and for the HDD). After the drive is installed the system does not see it( however the HDD is recognized in the management.
- Jan 09, 2010 nethertheless am i not sure, if the hdd was already defect and i locked it up, because hdderase was not responding to it, or neither i destroyed the hdd by using hdderase on it. Anyways ill keep trying the locked hdd on another laptop. Looks like atapwd and mhdd are the only program which can detect the hdd as locked.

Mhdd Not Detecting Driver
Hello,
Well I have Seagate 250GB HDD which was dead due to logical board(PCB) Failure.
Specs of the PCB
PCB Number: 100468303 REV A
Smooth Chip number: 100369972
BIG CHIP number: TTB5041A0
I found the same PCB and ordered it. I was advised by the seller that the ROM chip needs to be replaced for the device to be working correctly.
I first swapped the PCB without replacing, the drive started spinning but was not detected in BIOS.
Now i had the ROM chip replaced from paitent PCB to the donar PCB the drive gets recognized in BIOS but not in OS.
I tried Computer Management in OS - No go
Tried Parition Magic - Not detected here (not as RAW drive either)
Tried Windows 7/Windows Vista bootable disc so that it may get detected during installation - No Go
I tried Seagate Seatools for DOS - The drive gets detected there.
There is important data on the drive which I need to be recovered. Now how do i go about making the drive detectable in the OS ? Any advanced data recovery tool that can detect the HDD for a bootable media ?
My idea: Use one of those Ultimate Bootable discs or Hard drive utilities to disc and if it is detected format the HDD using NTFS (quick format). Once the HDD is detected in the system, try the recovery process . What do you have to say about that ?
