I have a 400GB PATA (IDE) HDD which has been working fine. I bought an IDE
to SATA converter from ebay and tried to install on a PC that only supports
SATA drives. The PC could not see the drive even after a lot of combinations
that I tried so, I put it back into my USB case and connected to PC. After
that, the computer could not see it at all. In device manager it is seen as:
±m ±m ±m ±m±m ±m±m ±m±m ±m±m ±m USB Drive.

The only conclusion I can draw is that this adapter has killed my drive.
Doesn anyone have different opinion?
 
Ok, I connected now to a PC with IDE and the drive seems to be fine. Most
probably my USB case has a probelm, maybe the cable is torn.
