Okay, so, my very old laptop ended up dying the other day - I don't know how. But anyway, I bought a new one as I needed one anyway, the only downside being the fact I have now lost everything on my old laptop.
A friend suggested turning the old hard drive into an external one, and so I have made it an assembled it correctly.
When I plug it in the light comes on and I can hear things going on, however, my laptop reports that the device is not recognised.
So, is there anything to do to make it recognised? Or was my old laptop breaking due to the hard drive going kaput anyway - that is always a possibility. Any help will be much appreciated - thanks
And in case this helps anything this is the external case I bought: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000YOTQ3Y/ref=pe_217191_31005151_3p_M3_dp_1#productDetails
I've noticed that it doesn't say that it supports windows 8 - is that the problem, and is there anyway to fix this?
