USB HDD Volume is RAW??

I have an external hdd in a caddie that is showing up in Vista RC1 as having
a RAW volume yet when I remove it and place it on a XP SP2 PC it's an NTFS
volume and my data is accessible. I just started messing with Vista, anyone
know of this happening?

Re: USB HDD Volume is RAW??

It's possible the particular enclosure is
causing the problem. The first USB enclosures I
tried would not permit me to format the hard
drive in the enclosure. I sent them back for a
different brand and they work perfectly.

I just tried mine on both Vista x86 & x64 and it
works fine. The drive is recognized as NTFS
formatted and I can access the files. I also
change the drive letter to "U" as I have in in
XP & XPx64.

Thanks, I suppose it's no big deal. I simply transferred the files to
another external that worked.
