Hello,
I just upgraded my lenovo laptop with a 250GB SATA Harddrive, and thought I would reuse the old 100GB hitachi SATA drive as an external drive, by putting it in an enclosure.
The instructions with the enclosure tell me to make sure the jumper is set to master, but I cannot find jumper on the drive.
When I connect the drive the computer installs a driver and displays a USB to ATA/ATAPI bridge
under "devices and printers" but does not show a drive under "my computer". the instructions with the enclosure suggests I format the drive, but I do not want to do this because it still has some programs and data that i want to keep from when it was the internal drive in the computer.
Can anyone offer suggests of what I should be doing?
