No devices detected! when I have a external hard drive connected

[Goldenmen]

I 13:20:05 ImgBurn Version 2.5.8.0 started!
I 13:20:05 Microsoft Windows 8 Core x64 Edition (6.2, Build 9200)
I 13:20:05 Total Physical Memory: 6,172,084 KiB  -  Available: 3,433,320 KiB
I 13:20:06 Initialising SPTI...
I 13:20:06 Searching for SCSI / ATAPI devices...
W 13:20:06 No devices detected!
 

I have been trying to "create image files from disc" but encountered that imgburn doesnt want to detect my device. I am using windows 10 and the newest version of IMGBURN, I have a WEME usb3.0 to sata converter that is connected to an external sata hard drive. I have been looking in forums and trying many different things but nothing seems to help.

ImgBurn is for optical drives/discs, not hard drives.

Are you saying you have optical drives that are recognized by ImgBurn but are not recognized by it when you connect an external HDD?  If you're not, then, it's as was said.  ImgBurn does not image USB HDD's.
