I took a hard drive from an old computer and am trying to recover the files under the users directory (Windows 7). I plugged the 3.5" Seagate hard drive into an external enclosure (with a separate power source). I cannot see the hard drive on my Windows XP computer or my Windows 7 computer. It doesn't show up under disk management tools. The USB ports work fine. The hard drive works properly I think...as explained below.
However, I can see it on my Windows 7 work laptop. I can access everything except for the users folders because I'm not an admin on my work laptop. So I can't recover the files in those folders because I can't change the read rights over to myself. So I know the hard drive can be read, I just can't get it to show up on the 2 computers that I have admin rights to.
Any suggestions?
