I have a friend that asked if I could get some files off his old hard drive. I have a Usb to sata/ide cable. Hooked up the old hard drive which is an xp system to my laptop which is windows 7. Drive shows up on my laptop and i can actually copy files to it and move them and use it like a flash drive. I can't see any of their files. When I run properties it shows 35 gig used so the files are there I just can't see them. Is there some piece of software I'm missing or a setting I'm forgetting? Please help.
