HDD from DVD-Player won't be recognized by PC

[shardayas]

Hey Guys

I tried transfering data from a DVD-Player (LG RH7800) to a PC. Since this player has no "data outputs" (or I didn't see them) I tried connecting the internal harddrive to an old PC I have standing around (needed an IDE-Port). When starting the PC the drive gets recognized in the device manager but not in the My Computer screen. Is the drive in a format that the PC can't read? Is there a way around that? Or a completely other way to get the data from the DVD-Player? The PC runs with Windows XP and an Intel Pentium E2220 processor on a MSI 945GCM5-F motherboard.

Help is appreciated!

Try reading the drive with a Linux (any flavor you like) live cd but often they use a proprietary format which cannot be ready except in the dvr or similar model.

Didn't work but thanks for the suggestion. It is most likely a proprietary format then right?

OK thanks for your suggestion again. I guess I'll have to try it the hard way then.
