I'm thinkin'..............
You have a healthy PC still under warranty.
You have a healthy drive, per Disk Management, in an external case.
Your healthy PC and your healthy drive aren't communicating?
Between your healthy PC and your healthy drive is an external USB hard drive
enclosure.
That external drive enclosure can be replaced with a powered enclosure for
under $15.
Maybe somebody here passed Economics 31? I didn't....... I was out of the
country when the final exam was administered.
I gotta stop thinkin'..............
and besides..... we ain't broked the one you have now permanent?
It's just barely broked........... until it's REALLY broked we can ignore
the dust bunnies and dirty dishes. That's a GOOD thing!
YMMV
