Hey all, just had a quick question regarding connecting a 2.5" laptop hard drive to a desktop via a 40->44 pin converting unit.
I have it hooked up and it will show on the bios and will show up as a drive when I boot into windows. As soon as I click on it, however, it just hangs and will eventually get My Computer (Not Responding) and I'll have to manually shut down explorer.exe to get it to close. I tried inverting the cable running to the HDD, but when put in the other way the computer won't get past the post screen, so I assume I have it connected the right way.
Can anyone offer advice on how to get it up and running? I need to extract information off of it for a friend. Thanks!
