I am trying to recover data from an old Linux that was installed in a computer on an ATA hard drive. I found a ScanLogic USB-IDE, an ATA adapter to USB 1.0 similar to the one in the picture: enter image description here and after switching it on, I plugged it into a laptop with Ubuntu 12.04. I am used to the drives being automatically mounted, but this one doesn't show up in /media. After doing a dmesg, all I got is this:

[215298.671924] usb 2-1.1: new full-speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd
[215298.767330] scsi19 : usb-storage 2-1.1:1.0
[215299.841701] usb 2-1.1: reset full-speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd
[215300.017258] usb 2-1.1: reset full-speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd
[215300.197050] usb 2-1.1: reset full-speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd
[215300.372730] usb 2-1.1: reset full-speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd

I tried plugging in the adapter to the three different USB ports in my laptop (one of them USB 3.0), but got no luck with any of them.

Any ideas?
