Bios nor Windows sees my data hard drive [SOLVED]
I know this is has been addressed before; however, the responses did not solve my issue. I will include more detail about my issue in hopes of a better diagnoses.
I accidentally changed my external Data hard drive from NTFS to HFS when prompted, while connecting via USB to a macbook. Now I can no longer see the hard drive via USB or direct connection to my PC.
I took it out it's case and noticed it has an IDE connection for a motherboard that only has SATA connections. I purchased an IDE to SATA Adapter and installed it into my computer.......nothing. The BIOS and Windows still does not see this drive. I had the same problem on an older computer that had IDE and SATA connections.
I am aware I have two separate issues. In order to correct the file structure issue I have to gain access to the drive.
This is a Data Drive of which I am trying to recover important data.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Information:
The hard drive powers up both in the external case and with the adapter.
OS:
1. Windows 7 Professional x64 (with all updates)
Mother Board:
1. ASRock 880G Extreme 3 (with latest bios)
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition

1. BIOS is set to IDE mode
Hard Drive:
1. Western Digital WD2000JB-00GVA0
(single or master pin setting)
