How do I access files from and HDD external enclosure?
April 1, 2010 - 9:27 am
I have a hard drive from my broken laptop that I have moved over into an HDD external enclosure but can not access my files.
I have moved a hard drive from a broken laptop to and external enclosure and I can not seem to access the files on it. I have connected it via USB and the external enclosure displays power. The PC also detects that hardware is attached.
1) When you plug it in does the drive get found by the operating system (new hardware found etc) ? If not then check all the connections.
2) If they seem ok try on another computer.
3) go to the mycompute>manage>disk manager plug in and see if you can see the disk from there, if you can then right click on it and select open.

Can you be more specific? What is the computer doing?

Is it USB connection? It is possible that the adapter isn’t working properly or you don’t have enough power supplied to it
