Reading Old hard drive


Recommended Posts

Have an old hard drive - Hitachi Deskstar model HDT722516DLAT80 ATA/IDE


This was running windows xp.


Bought a USB 2.0 to IDE Adapter


Plugged it in, everything lights ups.


Computer recognizes it as usb mass storage device under device manager


I do not see the device under computer



I would like to recover files if i can from this drive.


I would then like to reformat it.



How can i do this?
