But I do hear the USB connect/disconnect sound when I pulled it out and plugged it back in. Both outputs are identical, it's like it's completely invisible. What do you think I should do? I don't even know if this cable setup works with Linux!Įdit 3: Okay, I just ran ``sudo fdisk -l``, both with the hard drive connected and with it disconnected. I'm sorry.Įdit again: Scratch that, I'm scared of it blue screening in mid-upload and losing everything. I feel so dumb right now.Įdit: You know what, I'm just going to try and run it again and risk it BSOD'ing again so I can get at least my pictures off of it. Could I get more detailed instructions on how to open it like a flash drive? Or configure it to run like a flash drive? All I really need are the personal files off of it. It powers on, I hear it spin up, but my computer says it doesn't exist. I'm literally just plugging in a hard drive into a USB slot with a weird cable set that has no discernible brand name and no real instruction manual. To be straight honest with you guys, I have no clue what I am doing.
