No, i do not have another computer, and that's my point. The only thing i think i've learned from them is that dell makes this procedure extra difficult. I've tried using these 3 (and others) procedures all to no avail: when i looked for the drive in bios, SATA 1 = my 1TB C: drive, SATA 2 = my DVD drive, and SATA 3, 4 & 5 are listed as empty.
#Usb to ide adapter drivers how to
I've tried following several tutorials on how to do this and nothing works, and often, the instructions have nothing to do with windows 10. I've also tried the "cmd" route where i paste the command and press enter, but nothing happens. Making sure no files or folders are hidden didn't reveal the hard drive either. either way, i'm sure they're not the drive i'm trying to format to test the adapter's safety. When i right click on either of the un-named drives to re-name them in disc management, following instruction on how to format my blank drive, the only option i get is a help file when everything i've read says i should be able to rename them and format them by right clicking on them.

i did not install the OS, and am lost in os10 as nothing works like 98/XP where i've formatted drives dozens of times) remain when i unplug the hard drive. the hard drive is 40gb, and those two "drives" (C: drive partitions i suspect. When in disc management, even with "show hidden" selected, two un-named drives show up, one as a 39mb partition and the other as an 11.73GB active recovery partition both 100% free with no file systems. i can hear the drive spinning, so i know it's powered up, and i have the jumper set to slave, but nothing i try using online tutorials will get the drive to show up. I cannot get my system to recognize a western digital 40GB IDE drive i'm running through a USB converter to test the adapter before hooking up a 120GB WD drive i have that has files on it after reading horror stories about some people's drives getting fried by some adapters. I have a dell XPS 8700 computer (intel core i7-4790 CPU 3.6 GHz, 12 GB memory, 64 bit with a 1TB hard drive)
