There should have been NO DRIVERS installed. If you did you could have mucked up the works. Unplug the drive, eject those drivers and try one more time. XP SP2 supports such things without added drivers.
-> Next up? Zero Assumption Recovery (ZAR), GETDATABACK and other titles. These have free demos to see what they can get back.

Im having problems.
Ive recently began using a new laptop (Fujitsu Siemens Amilo L7310GW), the operating system is XP home (SP2), and Im trying to access the data from my old Desktop PC hard-drive.
The old HDD is an ExcelStor 60Gb, with a lot of personal files I really am loathe to lose. I purchased a 3.5 HDD Caddy (InSixt) and inserted the drive, all seems well, but the laptop will not recognise/indicate for access in 'My Computer'. I have been into the Disk Management settings, it shows the disk as there, healthy, but hasn't attributed a Drive letter to it.
On right-clicking, the only option available is to 'Delete Partition', (which would delete the data I wish to keep), all other options on right-click are grey out/unavailable options.
Now, when the drive was in my old PC, it had a partition set in
(30Gb for system software etc/30Gb for personal files/mp3/pictures etc), and I suspect this may be part of the reason I cant access the drive. All drivers for the HDD are up-to-date and I have tried the drive in caddy on my neighbours pc, with exactly the same results.
Would anybody out there in Cyberia have any helpful information for me, it would be most appreciated. I have visited a plethora of other forums/help threads and as yet havent found a satisfactory solution.
I would be deeply grateful if somebody could offer assistance.
Hi, by the way, bit heavy for a 1st post but Im getting a tad dismayed by what (I think) should be quite straghtforward! Thanks in advance, B.
