I purchased a new laptop and a SATA USB Adapter and tried to connect the internal disk of my old computer to my new laptop in order to save my data.
My hard disk is Western Digital WD5000BEVT 500GB and I also have a Lindy USB to SATA/IDE adapter.
After connecting all components my computer can not recognize the hard disk
Things I have tried:
To buy a new hard disk (the same as before) - to ensure the damaged hard disk is not the reason
To buy a new adapter LogiLink-AU0006D-SATA-Adapter to ensure the adapter is not the reason
Try on Ubuntu and Windows XP - to ensure the System is not the reason.
But still nowhere any hard disk is recognized even by BIOS. I am not sure what is happened.
