SATA HDD Issues - Seagate Barracuda 2 TB
Posted on 11/26/16 at 9:17 pm

Did a partial rebuild/upgrade of PC without moving a 2 TB drive over from my previous build immediately.
Finally got around to hooking it up to my new system and it isn't detected by BIOS.
I've tried swatching SATA & power cables from other drives that do work without luck.
Any ideas/suggestions? I ordered an external enclosure that doesn't get here til Monday to see if it can read that way. Went ahead and ordered a bigger replacement drive (4TB) and had my files backed up but would like to get this one working again.

Clarify two things:
1) did you try it on a port that definitely works on the motherboard (a DOA SATA wouldn't be the most surprising thing ever, and sometimes the drives and ports just don't play nice)
2) did you try the drive in another system to confirm it is still recognized elsewhere?
If you can't get it to work on an older, known to be functioning system, fixing it or recovering data is far out of my league.
If an old system isn't available, perhaps try a USB toaster-style drive as a substitute.

I'd have suggested a USB to IDE/SATA cable/adapter. It's actually a handy device to have around. Think you're on the right track for the time being.
