Run Gparted and check Drive sdc. What does it say?

it was in my former pc which died about 10 days ago. I got a brief message about a cpu failure due to overclocking; then nothing. not even the flash screen. I removed 2 hard drives; one sata and one lde. The sata works via usb, the ide does not. the ide has most of the data on it. The loss of the data is not a major consequence, but it is a major irritation.

Is the data recoverable? Is the drive salvageable?

any ideas anyone?

Adaptor i use : needs usb-storage driver loaded . To change attached drives, usb-storage has to be unloaded to be able to refresh /proc/partitions .
