Windows 10: Can data from old IDE drives be read and retrieved in windows 11?

I am attempting to read my old IDE drives in windows 11 using a Fideco USB 3.0 to IDE/SATA converter cable. Nothing is showing in disk management that detects it, other than a delayed sound notification that a USB device was connected. Is this a controller issue with windows 11? In any regard, how may I be able to resolve this issue? thank you

:)

 

Lost data from hard drive, what to do now?

Well, I'm sorry to hear that it's a WD My Passport that failed on you, @tomhenry ! *Frown
I'd recommend you to try using a different USB cable with it and see if that will help your system to detect it without it disconnecting.
I'd also suggest you to go to Disk Management and see how the drive is listed there. It won't hurt to check up on the health and SMART status of the HDD by running the QUICK and EXTENDED tests from the WD's Data LifeGuard Diagnostics. Here's a link to the available software: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=11ZOpD

Can I retrieve data from old computer Hard Drive?

My older laptop can not start therefore I thought by using News laptop with Windows 10 if, I can retrieve data from older Hard Drive?
Before doing that I want to ask:
1. Is it safe to retrieve data from old computer Hard Drive?
2. To use older Hard Drive I got to buy Hard Drive Case with USB/AC adopter(if required)?
and is it ATA or SATA , 2.5 inch. You can refer Hard Drive image and guide me.

Thank you in advance.
