Hi - my laptop recently died and I need access to it's hardrive - I have it linked into my home PC via a IDE Combo adaptor I just bought that goes into the USB port.
Disk Management is finding the hardrive, but it is not assigned a letter and I can not access it (it's not showing under "My Computer"). Under disk management it is listed as "Disk 6" and is showing as "healthy" and "active"., yet I simply can not access it anywhere. Even in Disk Management when the option is there to "open" it simply does nothing.
If I right click it to try to allocate a letter (which I thought may be the problem) the allocate letter option is not available.
If anyone is able to give any guidance I would be eternally grateful, as I'm tearing out my hair here!
My PC is an Advent Home media jobby, which I'm sure I paid for too much for from PC World, and I'm running Windows XP Media Centre Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2.
Help! Please?
Steve
