I am hoping someone on here can help me with the following problem.
Problem
My brother has a 2.5 Toshiba hardrive from an emachines laptop. It
will no longer boot up, so I am trying to connect it to a PC to see if
I can get some important files off of it for him. He is getting
married and there are pictures of him and his fiance they want to use
in the wedding.
I have searched the web and various groups and found a description on
how to get a 2.5 in to 3.5 in adapter, so I picked one up at CompUSA
this weekend.
I have connected it all up according to the instructions I found over
the web and my Windows XP Pro machine (it is a dELL) does not recognize
the drive in My Computer.
Things I have tried so far.
1. I connected it to the secondary IDE drive, so no jumper changes
made.
2. I put it on the secondary connection on the primary IDE drive. I
used a 3.5 in jumper to try to make it the slave.
NOTE: You can find the info on the 2.5 in drive's jumper settings
here (http://www3.toshiba.co.jp/storage/english/gijutu/jmp25.htm)
Questions
1. Anybody know where you can get jumpers for 2.5 in drives
2. Is there anything I'm missing here?
Thanks for any help anybody can provide.
