Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

Hey,
I'm new here and don't know a great lot about Hard Drives as I've never had any problems with them.
I recently bought a new PC as I was having great trouble with my old one and decided it was time for a new start.
I have placed one of my old hard drives (D:) in an external case to transfer some data, which worked fine, but I can't seem to do the same with my old C: Drive.
The drive spins but the light on the case doesn't come on, and Windows does not detect the drive.
The differences between the two that I am aware of are just that C: has Windows installed. Both have no jumpers in.
C: has been tried in the external case set as master or slave, both to no avail.
Any help would be appreciated. In a desperate situation to recover work !
Many thanks,
Callum.

Take the drive out of the case and detect it in normal IDE port of your motherboard and post the situation here .
