the CFA is probably too old for the USB box.. Put it on an older PC and Get yourself a 2.5" adapter :O)

Wow! That is an old hard disk! The explanation is that it does not support LBA translation. You must find a computer that has a BIOS which supports CHS. You must connect the drive directly to one of the PC's IDE ports. Then try to get the BIOS to autodetect the drive. If it shows up, but with "0MB" in capacity, then the BIOS does not support CHS. If that is the case, try to check the settings and see if you can change it to CHS.

Good luck!
