Ok, for my 2600k upgrade I backed everything up onto a data 500GB HD from my windows 7 Pro 64bit. Once my SSD came in I installed windows on it and then plugged in the 500GB data drive. Unforutnately it didn`t show up and I could only find it listed in disc management as a 500gb unallocated space HDD. Figuring this was something odd about it being plugged in as a secondary drive I put it back into the external USB drive but neither the new or the original system would recognize it other than in disc management as unallocated space. I went and plugged the external drive into my XP system...samething. Any ideas about how to get this data back. It`s very important stuff and I don`t want to lose it.
Thanks guys,
