I have a new CQ desktop SR5113WM with Vista. I instaled my old XP hard drive
WD400BB, it shows up in the Device manager but it has no letter and dosen't
show in Coumpter. I wanted to get old files from it. Would like help.

Thanks!
Bill

What does it show in Control Panel (Classic view) > Computer Management > Disk
Management?

You may have to assign a drive letter and take ownership on the Security tab of
it's Properties.

When you right click on the drive, select Properties, Security tab, Edit button,
can you take ownership and give your account full permissions for the drive?

Hi, Bill.

In Disk Management, open the Help file and search for "foreign" and look at
"Move Disks to Another Computer". On that page, you should find
instructions, including this paragraph:

> Detect new disks

> On the new computer, open Disk Management. Click Action and then click
> Rescan Disks. Right-click any disk marked Foreign, click Import Foreign
> Disks, and then follow the instructions on your screen.


If you get hung up anywhere, post back with exactly what you did and exactly
what results you saw. ("Tried it; didn't work" doesn't help us help you at
all.) Actually, I liked the Help file in WinXP's Disk Management better;
the new one puts too much emphasis on dynamic disks, which I'm not really
"into" yet, so I have to "read around" a lot of extra verbiage.
