@Xavee_16: Do not open. This is a factory sealed, factor calibrated, very sensitive device. Opening it will probably destroy the HDD.

Yes?

Hi Simlei. If its a modern, fairly new drive, it should have built-in firmware, without a need for extra drivers. If you OS is old the OS itself may not be recognizing the drive's 'language', especially if the bus-width differs, ie 16/32/64bit. As 1 TB is quite recent on SSD's, I guess its new. My 1 TB Toshiba just plugs into USB and Win Explorer detects it as a storage drive. Regards, Clive.

The problem is?...

No fuse. Just control electronics.

External hard drive case, which comes with its own PSU AC/DC power pack. They come in IDE and SATA flavours, some with extra cables to convert IDE<>SATA. Take HDD with to computer retailer so physical dimension can be matched.

You will need an external Hard drive adapter case. This will probably come with driver disk. If already and external drive it may have internal firmware which talks directly to the PC. Just install drivers, if any, and plug unit in. Follow screen prompts.

hard drive failure is a mechanical fault needing a new hard drive to fix it

Only some are missing? If you can access the drive and see or download some of the files, it probably means the other files are not there. I have found it is easy to move files when transferring from one device to the other, when I meant to copy them. Perhaps this is what happened. If the drive was bad, or some other mechanical issue, I doubt you would be able to access any files.
