My home Windows Vista OS computer (HP) decided to not play nicely the other day by not initializing to the start window. I tried running diagnostics, but no fruitful options.
My backup is a few weeks old and I wanted to recover some files from the HD before returning it to the store for repair under warranty.
I purchased a Cables Unlimited USB2.0/eSATA Desktop HDD Dock.
I inserted my WDC WD6400AAKS-65A7B SCSI Hard Drive and it appeared in the Explorer window as my “F:” Drive. BUT, when I click on it, it tells me that it isn’t formatted.
I’m guessing that because it belonged to another computer, partitioning, etc, blah, blah, that it isn’t “plug/play”.
My question is: What can I do so that I can see the file directories?
I confess that I attempted to put jacks on 2 of the 5 sets of pins to make it a slave drive. Problem was that I didn’t have jacks and I attempted a home version of foil. I don’t know if my theory was flawed or my home jacks just weren’t successful.
Help P L E A S E?
