PC HD converter,comes in a box for about $ 25 plugs into a USB port on the PC,not as fast as setting the HD on Slave and plugging in to the IDE cable but its easier to connect,had a similar problem ,I found another disc exactly the same that worked and swapped the little circuit board with the 2 plugs[IDE and Power] and it came back to life long enough to Copy all the files I wanted another suggestion that did not work was putting it in the freezer for a few hours that works I’m told if there is a small crack in one of the Platters,Best of Luck
