You need a data recovery. This guy does it remotely and only asks for donations. http://FreeDataRecovery.us

TRY IN COMPUTER MGMT THERE ARE OPTIONS THAT MAY HELP YOU, IF IT DOES NOT SHOWUP IN "MY COMPUTER" THEN MAYBE THERE IS A OS STILL IN THE DRIVE,THEN YOU WILL HAVE TO FORMAT.......USUALLY NTFS.......OR ERASE DRIVE HOPE THIS HELPS

the RAW drive means the hard drive is raw, i.e not formatted. Your hard drive had a partition failure. The best way to go about this problem is to download the Easeus Partition Manager Free, and run a partition recovery procedure. Sofar there are only positive reports about Easeus, and I too have positive ones (saved 1.5TB of data just recently) so I wholeheartedly recommend it.
Once you download it and install it, the interface is quite easy to understand and easy to follow.

Hi,
Just choose Hitachi Travelstar 320 GB, 5400 RPM, SATA , 2.5'' for convenience files storage.

You would need to use a "usb" to hard drive cable. It looks like this: http://gizmodo.com/168149/brando-sataeide-to-usb-20-cable

Then, it is simply a matter of "cloning." The other alternative is to find a pc repair shop with a hard drive duplicator. It will copy much faster.

Please rate if you find this helpful.

It _could_ be a disk-drive problem -- excessive "retry" operations within the disk-drive, while trying to write data to the disk-drive, or while trying to read from the disk-drive.

Search online for "Hitachi Drive Fitness" testing software, and run it.

If the disk-drive is "out-of-warranty", consider replacing it, before it completely "fails".

Hi
There are no jumpers to set on a SATA drive since they all use individual interfaces with the motherboard.
All you can do is connect the drive you want as master to the first SATA header,slave to the second,and then set the boot priority in BIOS.
They don't have jumper pins like the old days.
Post again if you have questions,and if this helps would you rate my post?

Spend the money and go with a 7200 rpm drive, 160, 320, or 250 gb hard drives are all under 100 bucks these days.

Hi,

No the drive is not customized at all. It is a standard SATA Data and Power connector. However, if it was already mounted in a laptop chances are the laptop manufacturer may have put an adapter on the connector end to allow for tight right angle insertion into the laptop chassis which isn't possible with the stock connectors without leaving the drive loose in it's slot.

If this is the case grabbing the connector and pulling straight away from the drive should pop it loose and reveal the stock SATA connectors under it.

If you're having troubles removing this peice, comment back with the make and model# of the laptop it came out of and I'll see if I can pull a diagram for you.

I would temporarily attach it directly to your laptop and go into recovery console and do a chkdsk /r on that drive

see if that helps, if not then there are things you can do.

buried in endless spam are you. does it fail on 2nd PC???????????????????????????? but yes, I am the MVP of external HDD< I build my own. Have over 5 here for Backups . lots of causes, for sure bad drive, or missing drivers.. bad HW hardware or BAD software SW. Missing 12vdc 2amp power pack>, lost or using wrong one. when pack above does the HDD spin? usb connected to PC. NO PC stated, NO OS stated, windows/chrome/Linux/android? its at lease 10 years old , see posts back that far. not good old HDD,this old. sold during W7 era. 2009. The drive has 3.5" HDD that needs lots of power (Amps) to start up that big motor inside, and is first thing to learn . 2amps it needs, ok? so if pack is missing it will never startup on any USB port, not rated for 20x standard USB load factors. some laptops only do 0.1amps (100mA) and are useless to startup any hdd motor of any kind. see why here. and see a better extremal solution cheap.! $10 http://www.pcdied.com/external-hdd.html

Tried googling for the answer but couldn't find it. Try calling an it support company, I'm sure they'll help you out for free. Perhaps you can try https://www.computersinthecity.co.uk/, they have been helpful to me in the past.
