I just bought an IDE to USB cable to connect a couple of old Seagate internal
hard drives to my new laptop w/ Vista on and get the files I had off them.
The drives show up fine and the software is installed right away as soon as I
plug them in, but when I try to access them from My Computer it says I have
to format the drive first. I know that that would delete everything off the
hard drive, which is the opposite of what I want to do. Is there anyway I can
read and copy the files off the drives without formatting them ?? Also, when
I looked in the Disk Management console, it showed one of the drives as 31
GBs of capacity when its actually 80 GBs. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks
in advance..
