Hi All,
I had a problem with my computer & had to reformat my ide hd carrying the operating system. I also have two internal sata drives for storage.
the reformat / reinstal (windows xp) went ok but i cannot now read the data on the two sata drives . I am prompted to reformat these drives. If i do that I will loose my data. I do not want to do that. I have two external ide that when connected via usb read OK. I have tried shutting down dissconnecting tyhe sata drives rebooting with only the ide. Then reconnecting the sata drives. but the problem remains.
If I buy an external sata enclosure and connect them via usb will I be able to read & recover/ access the data?
All comments & help appreciated.
best regards
Lew
