issues with external hard disk.. please help...
« on: December 01, 2008, 05:38:42 AM »
Hello all..

I have a problem that i hope anyone here could help me out with.

I have an internal hard disk that i use in my PC, i moved to the States for my studies and i have the disk with me. I got myself a USB adapter to get files off the disk to another machine.

When i plug in the USB, windows detects the hard disk, a balloon pops up at the lower right hand side of the screen saying new hardware detected and all that. But, when i open 'My Computer' the hard disk icon is not there.

What should i do? Is there a way to mount it with MsDos?
Please help... its my work files since 2002..   :-\

Thank You

Try hooking it up as a slave drive internally.
