Hey guys, i'm in desperate need of help with a sort of dumb problem i have...heres the outline:
-I have a SATA 200gb drive installed/working/with WindowsXP on it..its my main drive that ive used, and my only drive that i've used on my computer
-My brother's computer is busted...his windows is all corrupt, and i want to reformat his HD..however I couldn't do it on his computer so i wanted to do it on mine
-First I put the drive as Slave on IDE Channel1 (My mobo is DFI LANPARTY UT-Ultra-D)
-When I booted up, got into my desktop, it said the harddrive was found, but i couldn't access it at all. It didnt have a letter assigned to it like "C:" or "D:".
-Ok, I figured maybe i placed it in the wrong place...
-My CD-ROM drive was my main IDE drive. I removed my CD-ROM drive, put my brother's HD into the Master IDE drive on Channel one. Same thing...recognized it, but i can't access any of the files...
Any help? All i wanted to do was:
-Access some files so that my brother doesnt lose all his info on the HD...i.e. store them on my main harddrive on my comp.
-Reformat his HD so that I can reinstall windows on his computer.
