I took the hard drive from my old laptop, a HP Pavillion ze4900 and put it in a case, a Inland Products usb 2.0 hdd enclosure that says on the box: connects a 2.5″ hard disk drive easily to any usb port. Fully support 2.0 hi-speed USB data transfer. Fully USB 1.1 downwards compatable. Built-in USB 2.0 to IDE Interface. Controller with general IDE interface & bulk-only transfer of USB mass storage class support UP TO UDMA66 for storage device. The cd rom that came with it does not work. When I put the cd rom in, and try to install it, it comes up for windows 98 only.
I checked the website for inland products and didn’t find any software downloads. www.inland-products.com
When I plug the hard drive into my USB port, my new laptop, dell inspiron 1525 does not even acknowledge it. How do I make this work??
I want to get to my files that are on my old laptop hard drive, and use them on my new laptop.
Thank you all for your help and suggestions.
Rowan.
