I have bought a hard drive enclosure, and I am trying to use with it a
hard drive that was previously in a Windows NT 4.0 machine that I just
retired. I wanted to use the drive with the new XP Professional
computer so that I would still have access to the data.
When I plug in the enclosure and turn it on, it is recognized in the
task bar as a mass storage device. But the drive itself does not show
up in the list of drives in My Computer.
In the Device Manager, it's listed under Disk Drives as "AUANDAM
FIBEBALL@ AS&0.0 USB Device." When I right-click to bring up
properties and then go to the Volumes tab, there are none listed. When
I click the Populate buttom, I see this:
Disk: Unknown
Type: Unknown
Status: Unreadable
Partition style: Not Applicable
Capacity: 0 MB
Unallocated space: 0 MB
Reserved space: 0 MB
Is this Windows NT drive (formatted NTFS, if I recall) simply
incompatible with my newer XP Pro machine?
