SOLVED Ext USB HD not recognized

[stevem5000]

Win 10 21H2 Pro
Seagate Expansion Desktop Drive 4TB...

I use this Seagate to back up clients files when working on their computers.....so it's pretty important...
I moved data to the drive last night....this morning Win 10 will not recognize it....

Easus Data Recovery cannot find the disc....
File Scavanger does not see the drive...
Neither Data Recovery software sees the drive...

Disk Management does not see the drive...

Tried it on W10 and W11...nope
Tried it on Ubuntu....nope....

I can feel and hear the drive spinning....no clicking....the little blue light is on...
It gives every physical indication it is working normally....
Changed the ULSB3 cable....nope....

Thoughts and suggestions appreciated...
Thanks
Steve

Never mind....I got it....
I took the cover off the drive....and removed the USB adapter board....then plugged in a standard USB to USB adapter...
Working great...
