How can I access any remaining files on this hard-drive? While taking apart what seemed to be a broken external, I realized that I could remove the ports and stick them on this old computer hard-drive I've been waiting to access. Thing is, nothing pops up besides a "safely remove prompt" and when I view the device under the mngr I can only see its properties. Help? I can share more photos if need be, Sorry I just don't know where to post this so... if I piss anyone off my bad :<

I had a 3.TB external I assumed wasnt working, took it apart and just connected the ports to this one. After using a new power cord I realized nothing was wrong, but decided to try this out. It all belongs to me :( I just dont know how to access the files. Halp. I have old poems and pics and shit wanna seee again
pls help :(
The internal drive likely requires more power. Plug it into a power supply and this would 90% work.

using windows, right click my computer and hit manage, go down to disk management. see if it shows up there. don't format it or mark it as active. maybe reboot the computer with the drive attached, maybe try to boot to the drive.

It's obvious you have no idea what you're doing, and we're not free tech-support, so GTFO with your shit.

WD SATA-USB bridges works only with default HDDs. You won't gain access to any other HDD through it.
