Please insert a disk into removable disk error

[Koffing]

Hello,

I have an old HDD that I can't access.
I have it connected via USB SATA adapter.

I can see it in disk management.
And in safe mode, It appears under windows explorer.

When I try to open it, I get the error:
Please insert a disk into removable disk

Can you guys help me out?

I tried Recuva, but it can't open it.
I tried right clicking on it, and using the error-checking tool, but it said that windows can't find the drive.

Thanks

First, connect it directly to a sata port in the computer, and see what it informs.

That did the trick.

That's the first thing I should have done.


Sorry for wasting your time.
