I am attempting to save and recover the files on an old MAC HDD to my windows system (I no longer have any mac computers btw, just the drive itself)

Its an old MAXTOR 80GB Drive originally made around 2004 and last used properly around 2014 (that date is being generous)

DiamondMax Plus 9

80GB SATA/150 HDD

Im using a Sabrent Hard drive/SSD to usb cord and currently have the free trial of MacDrive, as well as the Hfexplorer program.

The issue im running into here is that its not detecting or running the drive itself and i cant figure out why. When i open MacDrive, it doesnt detect it, nor in Hfex.

The cable itself is fine and lit up, but the drive doesnt seem to show up anywhere i look.

I could really use some assistance as to what i should do, short of finding someone with a MAC computer, as there are a lot of old memories (especially of my dad) on this drive that i dont think were backed up prior and i want to save as much as i can from it.

Let me know if anyone needs anymore info.
