Why doesn't my SATA hard drive show up properly when I connect it to my PC with a USB to SATA/IDE Cable?
My desktop computer (running dual-boot Windows XP and Windows 7) recently stopped working and I needed to back up my data, so I ordered this USB to IDE/SATA Cable: http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B003OENQ4G/ref=oss...
I hooked up all the cables to my PC's 3.5" SATA hard drive and connected it to my laptop, running Windows 7 64-bit. The power adapter's light had turned on, and the laptop recognized it. However, after installing the drivers, it won't show up properly.
Every 15 seconds, it only shows up for a split second in Device Manager and Disk Management, and my computer makes the beep sound to signal that something is connected. It does the same thing on a laptop running 32-bit Windows XP.
When I replaced my desktop computer's hard drive with a 2.5" SATA hard drive, my laptop recognized it fine and I could access the files on it.
I'm guessing that there's a problem with the hard drive, but I'm not sure what it could be.
3 AnswersOther - Hardware10 years agoWhy does my computer read every disc as blank?
Several days ago, my computer began reading every disc as blank.
When there is no disc, my drive acts normally, but when I put a perfectly fine disc in (which works on other computers), it says that it is blank and asks me if I want to write to it.
When I tried an audio CD, the computer read it as an audio CD and the tracks were listed in windows media player with the correct lengths, but they don't make any sound when I play them. When I check the properties of the audio disc, it says the disc has 0 KB of space (both used and free). When I check the properties of the tracks, it says they each take up 44 bytes (or 2 KB on disc).
I'm using Windows 7 64-bit on this laptop:

Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance.

I have Assassin's Creed 2 for PC but it always lags horribly on my computer. However, when I play the game by streaming through OnLive on my computer, it goes completely smooth with good graphics. Why does this happen?

i have a few questions but u dont have to answer all of them.
1) Is there a roster update system that allows the game to scan online to keep everything updated (e.g. title holders, superstars' brands, heels/faces)?
2) In "Create an Entrance" for 360 or PS3, can you upload songs from your hard disk?
3) In SvR 2008 there were 4 categories: raw, smackdown, ecw, wrestling legends. in SvR 2009 is there going to be a category of retired superstars (not legends though) like Goldberg, Chris Benoit, Kurt Angle, etc.
