[SOLVED] Converting external HDD to internal

[GunMetalButterfly]

I had an old Samsung HD103si that I had used as an external backup/ storage. It’s enclosure broke so I took the HDd out and installed it my old Windows 7. I need the files on it, I don’t want to initialize it. My Bios recognizes it. My Windows device manager finds it under C drive. I cannot get my Disk Management to see it. I don’t think it is a partition problem because under cmd disk list it isn’t there. Help?
