HDD connected through USB

by aefarid . Updated 18 years, 2 months ago

Hi

I have my new pc as SATA cabled while Im trying to connect an IDE drive through USB to IDE bridge

the safely removal icon appears in the toolbar and the device manager shows the drive as working probably but it is not shown in my computer and can not access

my os is XP pro SP2, i tried to retart the comp and restore to earlier date but with no use

when i change the USB port a msg apears says windows can not recognize the drive

the IDE drive I use contains data so I can not format and lose it

in my PC the os is placed in a partion with FAT32 format while all other partitions are NTFS format

so can you kindly help me with that problem soon

thanks in advance
