There is no easy access to password, you may need to reformat the hard drive to restore it's use.

IF you formatted that drive, all is lost. There is nothing that you can do. Formatting wipes the drive and re writes sector info to the MFT. I am sorry.

The format on a disk, will not be relevant of recognition via an USB connector. To connect a drive via USB, the computer must have the correct driver for the hardware you are connecting. Be sure you connect the HD coerce to the external harness and make sure it is supplied with the correct voltages. When you connect a working system on the USB connector and the drive does not have a format, the computer will see that and ask you if it should format the drive.

Sorry, no help for you after doing both a roll back and a reformat. This is what has driven professionals to a 3-2-1 backup solution. 3 backups - 2 onsite(two different parts of the house, business) - 1 off-site. Then you can restore from a backup. Otherwise, restore from optical disk or restore partition(if you didn't format it). Good Luck.

If the BIOS doesn't see the drive, you are usually out of luck. You may have 1 and only 1 chance to get data off the drive. wrap in a small hand cloth.place in a ziplock sealed within another sealed ziplock. leave in the freezer overnight. Then the next day attempt to read the drive. Occasionally, this cooling, allows the drive to be read. IF so, get the data off immediately because as soon as the drive "thaws or warms" you may not be able to read it. The trick usually only works once, as it introduces condensation. THIS is a last ditch effort before giving up.

Hello Hector, your motherboard supports: 2 x Ultra DMA133/100/66 devices(IDE) 4 x Serial ATA2 devices (SATA) IDE is somewhat antiquated at this point but is supported, I would recommend using the SATA ports instead due to higher performance. Drives of this type can be purchased at any computer shop, most big box stores and any online parts store.

I have a DROBO which I am trying to recover with DiskWarrior. When I connect the DROBO and try to run DiskWarrior, I get an error -36 "hardware failure". I can hear the DROBO doing "stuff". If I wait several hours until the DROBO is quiet, then DiskWarrior doesn't get the error, and I can try to recover it. Scratched my head over this for a while, so figured I would post the solution in case anyone has the same problem. All the forum posts are about dead disks. My disk isn't dead, it just has a sick filesystem, as proven by the fact that if I wait long enough, DiskWarrior can try to do something with it. The disk activity was a clue. I suspected that TimeMachine or something else on the mac is trying to fsck the file system in preparation for mounting. Unfortunately that takes HOURS on this large volume full of time machine backups. So opened Terminal and typed: ps -ef ' grep fsck_hfs and there was the culprit: 0 67332 18 0 6:26am ?? 1:02.06 /System/Library/Filesystems/hfs.fs/Contents/Resources/../../../../../../sbin/fsck_hfs -y /dev/disk5s2 To kill it, type kill followed by the second number from the left, in this case: kill 67332 The disk activity stops, and you can then run DiskWarrior.
