| | 2.5 Hard Drive Enclosure Driver CD FOR XP NOT VISTA Hi this is gonna sound very stupid but I ran over my laptop but managed to save the hard drive and put it into a Hard drive enclosure which came with a cd. I used the cd on xp/2000 and it worked fine (except I couldn't see any of my much needed files for some reason) any way I tried to install the cd on to my new laptop (vista) and it said THIS PROGRAM JUST CAN RUN ON WINDOWS 98/WINDOWS 2000 BELOW SP3 How can I get it to work? When I plug the usb for the HD the computer installs the drivers but there is nothing in my computer so I can't access anything on the hd. PPPPPPPLLLLLLEEEEEAAAAASSSSEEE HELP ME. This hd has over seven years of pics on it please help me. rl0409@xxxxxx |

If you can't see your files, and couldn't when the enclosure/drive was attached to an XP/2000 machine, your hard drive may well be dead, i.e files gone forever.. -- Mike Hall - MVP How to construct a good post.. http://dts-l.com/goodpost.htm How to use the Microsoft Product Support Newsgroups.. http://support.microsoft.com/default...help&style=toc Mike's Window - My Blog.. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx |
