Does your board have a ide port to begin with ? If yes try that .Those ide to sata converters always seemed fishy when i used one to get data off an old maxtor 200 gig drive i had.One time it would show up then reboot 3 times and it would work.I would use the ide and lay the drive down on a static bag inside the case so the bottom is facing up.
You say that Windows is (7/8) is telling you the folders or corrupt could it be that you pulled the power plug when the psu was still plugged in ?
Yes changing the board would be good,But finding one that would match up to his drive that is not in use still will be hard (2007) is not that old of a drive and most users (like me that still have an old 200gig) usually use them for storing music- backups of main drive.....It is worth a shot though.
(Sorry if it makes some sense and then not ,Just woke up and need my coffee )
yea actually i did take the power cord out out the drive with out shutting down windows but i thought it was different this way? now my drive is saying 96 gb unallocated in disk management, even though its a 160 gb drive. The 2 partitions are not showing up anymore is the drive slowly falling apart ?
