My laptop died. Indications are there is an issue with overheating and fans/cooling not working properly.
I've pulled the disk drive from the laptop. The drive is a Western Digital 320 Gb, model WD3200BEVT, circa 2009.
However, when I connect the drive, via a 3.0 USB to SATA III cable to another system, the drive is recognized as 198 Mb . There are only 4 files reported via File a Explorer.
Other threads I've read seem to indicate that the presence of Windows on the old drive presents a conflict.
Is there a way to overcome these conflicts allowing me to transfer my data from the old drive to my new laptop.
Thanks for any assistance/direction you can provide.
