How do you know which docking station to get as the one i previously got did not have the correct plug in slot. I have a WD Scorpio Blue 640GB WD6400BEVT. This is from an Acer laptop and looks very different from the one you use.
Well done. I have a HP that is pretty old. It partially boots up but not enough for me to get my photo of the computer. I will pick up a docking station and follow your lead and see where that takes me. Thanks.
1. What is the brand/model/price of this docking station? 2. Does this docking station work for both types of drives (seta & alternative)? Or seta only? 3. Where can I get this docking station?
Question please. I have hard drive from my broken PC that was install windows. Can i connect this drive to my new PC to recover files, and how? Thanks a lot.
Would there be any way to access the recycle bin files on the hard drive being transferred? Or is the only way to do that through the desktop on the original computer of the hard drive?
Good question. I had never been asked that one. I followed these steps in Windows 10 on a drive that was used in Widows 10 and it worked. This will probably work in Windows XP and higher. Mac, I am not sure. Bring up File Explorer (Windows Key + E). In the Menus, go to Tools - Folder Options - View. Scroll down and select "Show hidden files and folders", and also un-select "Hide operating system files". Now click on the external drive in the left panel "Folders". You should see at folder like this: $RECYCLE.BIN That should have the contents of the recycle bin on that drive.

My computer won't recognize my 3.5 Seagate 750 GB hard drive via my docking station? It's not the docking station, because it recognized another 2.5 Seagate 500GB laptop HD that I plugged into it?
Thanks. I can hear the 3.5 hd spinning when I power the docking station on. My pc nor my laptop will recognize it. It's an old 750GB Seagate Sata HD from a pc that didn't have USB 3.0 and my docking station uses 3.0 but it's backwards compatible with 2.0 of course. I just want to save the files. I'm contemplating trying the freezer method and/or the oven method, but I don't know? Lol
Chris Eytcheson i thought id try recover the hard drive on a laptop instead. I've done it the way you did with a docking station. it worked and all my old files are there. however i can't back them up, open them or move them, it says i don't have permission?
I believe I mentioned them in the beginning. One is an external drive enclosure and the one I used in the video is a (SATA) hard drive docking station.
My computer is DEAD. After connecting the usb cable, all I get is a click-click-etc sound and as in your case, no disc drive pops up (K in your case)? all I have is the drives C-D-E. after disconnecting and resting, I reconnect the usb and the clicking sound has gone away, but still no drive K... what do you think I could be doing wrong. I have Windows 8.1 and am trying to download with a Kingwin ez connect usi-2535 ... 40 pin ide interface
Sounds like your drive is dead. Try another drive if you can find one and if the other drive works then you know it's dead. If you really want the data contact a company that specializes in data recovery. They sometimes have advanced techniques that might work
nice! Small doubt? I installed active directory in windows 2008 server I created one user name (client) I want to 'client' can login in LINUX and I will share a drive in windows and that drive need to access by client in LINUX Please help me bro
Typically, as long as you can power on a drive and access it you can get the data back one way or another. However, it looks like your drive needs expert attention to recover the data. That said, if you want to keep trying you can download Hiren's boot CD and try some of the drive tools. Note: The latest version of Hiren's Boot CD should be 100% Linux or Open Source tools. Try downloading it via Bit torrent.
