HDD shows up empty in Vista

[joekc]

I have an HDD that I tranfered from an XP PC to a Vista PC. Vista recognizes
the HDD, but it labled it "New Volume", and shows it as blank, when there is
actualy several gigs of data on it. Any ideas?

Hi, Joe.

What does Disk Management say about that HDD? Run diskmgmt.msc and check
out its Help file. You probably need to "initialize" that "foreign disk".
