Hi, guys - I hope I'm posting in the right place...
I have a Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB SATA hard drive which was formatted in XP. It sits in a swappable hard disk enclosure which plugs in via USB. It works fine on my XP machine, and I can read and write to it.
Sadly, my Windows 7 machine recognizes the drive as an ATA/ATAPI bridge in the device manager, but I can't see it in the disk manager to assign it a drive letter (as advised on other posts on this forum.) It doesn't show at all.
I can't seem to find any fixes - any ideas what it could be? The drive is just fine on the XP machine, so it isn't a cable issue. Do I need to set jumpers or something?
I'm tearing my hair out here - hope somebody can help...
