hi!
can anyone help me?
i took an old SATA Maxtor DiamondMax 10 in my old computer and put it in my new one to make it as a slave drive.
after i put it in my new pc and hooked everything up and started the computer, i cant access the hard drive. it says
access denied, Q: is not accessible. and i cant format it, it doesnt even say the storage capacity of the hard drive.
