Hi

After problems with my XP Seagate O/S Master hard drive i have purchased a new one and am now trying to access the old hard drive to move data, it says there is 98GB on the HD drive and 50GB space (its a 160GB one)

I have recovered my pics which were in my old C Drive in folder called pics and some vids from a folder in C called vids which were the most important ones very easily, however when i try and view the old HD to view other folders and search them its not coming up with much at all despite saying there is 98GB on there, I have used Recuva but that has not found anything of note ( I think that just recovers files that were deleted anyway) I want to access ones that should be there in MyVideos etc, are there any progs that should show everything accessible on the old HD and not just things that had been deleted, that can get round Windows not showing them.

thanks

G

Hi
have managed to get the files now
if i run the recuva program and stop it before it completes it shows all the files, if i leave till 100% it only finds ones that were deleted, weird ?
only found this by accident on the second run, shall post again in a while about the other HD
