Hi,
I'm new here so please be patient with my ignorance...I tried searching for the answer to this question but wasn't able to find the WHOLE answer:
I had a terrible thing happen yesterday! My motherboard died on ME A friend of mine thought it might be the moffets...I don't know why since I wasn't overclocking anything...anyway, that not the question :?
I had 4 HD in that computer: 80GB Maxtor, 120GB WD, 160GB WD, 200GB WD. A couple of them had partitions on them. WINXP-NTSC. Here is my problem:
I bought an external USB HD case and have been trying to access the data on the HD through my older IBM laptop (only has USB 1.1). I have updated the BIOS on the laptop but I still can't seem to see the contents of the drive.
I am able to see the drive but I can't view the contents. I have used Partition Magic and seem to be able to view the partition, but don't want to wreck the partition table and loose the data.
Question #1: Is there a way to see partitioned drives that were created on another system with USB external drive enclosure? Is there a compatibility issue with USB 1.1 and NTSC partitions?
Question #2: Can partition magic re-create the partitions without loosing the data? If so, how?
Thanks very much for your help
