Recover music

[gbshrader]

Hello,
My mother board went out on my old computer. I got the hard drives out and bought a Diablotex SSD to USB 3.0 Sata Adapter to get my music off the old hard drive. The drive will show up in disk management but it is write protected so I cannot initialize it. I am pretty handy with computers but don't know where to go from here. I had everything backed up except my music.
An help is greatly appreciated.
Gary

Maybe If you try Ubuntu Live CD.

I don't understand the problem... Can you describe it more precisely please.

 

[gbshrader]

I have an old hard drive hooked up to my new computer through USB port and can't access the data.

What error does itgive you?

There is no error. I can see the drive in Disk Management, but not in My Computer, so I can't access the data.

Did you try assigning a drive letter to the drive in Disk Management?

Yeah, that must be his post to another site.

gbshrader, did you try hooking it up to your power supply?
