    How to mount IDE HDD [solved]

    I have an IDE HDD and I bought an IDE to USB adapter. I connected the connector to the HDD and plugged it into my USB port, and I plugged the power in as well, but when I try to mount it, it gives me an error:
    mount: /dev/sdb: can't read superblock
    dmesg | tail:
    Code:
    ~$ dmesg | tail

    Never mind, I just forgot to plug in the power supply cord...
