Old hard drive in new PC question
Last response: in Storage
I took my old drive (WD 640GB SATA) out of my old rig and put it in my newer rig. I got windows to recognize it by assigning it a drive letter and rebooting. When I try to view the contents of the drive it tells me I must format the disk before I can use it. It then tells me the drive is not accessible, it does not contain a recognized file system. I don't want to format it, I want to transfer the files off of it. Any help would be much appreciated.
