don't see drives correctly or only see 60 or 80 or 100GBs. I bought a 100GB laptop HDD and had to do some searching to find an enclosure that would recognize the entire drive. I ended up getting an Adaptec enclosure ... all their enclosures support drives up to 1000GBs.

Okay. I'm trying to access my hard drive from another computer since it became unbootable after my computer told me that there was an incompatible program on its drive. I bought a laptop hard drive enclosure from Newegg.com. It's a Rosewill enclosure, very cheaply made. The manual was filled with grammatical errors and typos. I'm asuming that there were translation problems.
Anyway, it told me that I had to create a new partition in the hard drive and consequently reformat it. Unfortunately, I'm also trying to retrieve three-years-worth of work from the hard drive, and I would prefer not to erase the data to do that.
Is there any way I can get around this? My partner just bought an iMac, but I have a Windows based computer (Compaq Presario 2100 notebook pc). How can I create a partition without erasing the data?
