How to connect and fix old Seagate bricked HDD

You need a carrier with an IDE connection. I use a Sabrent dual IDE and Sata for this.

Put the drive in the Carrier, plug it into a USB port, plug in the AC supply and attempt to read the drive.

You may need to try a recovery utility like Recuva (cc cleaner) to recover data.

If there is important data on the drive, consider a local recovery agency before doing anything yourself.

The drive is too old for any permanent use.
