thanks to Ardneh for the advice but they didn't work for my drive.i tried it as a second hard drive and it didn't reconize it,and as a external drive it wasn't reconized either.thanks for the effort.

Hi,
You could try the info on the link below.
It may give some clues & links to other info.
If you have the hard drive manufacturers name plus the model number, it may be worth logging onto their site to see if they can help?
