My old Gateway's motherboard crashed and I am not able to run the computer
any more. The Gateway was running Windows XP.
I purchased a new Compaq which came with Windows Vista. I added the old hard
drive to the new computer and while Vista sees the old hard drive (which I
renamed G) and also sees a folder structure on the drive, it does not see any
of the files in those folders. The drive is a 250 Gig drive and Vista says it
is Healthy, Partitioned, but only contains 25 gig.
I tried to save a document to the new drive and Vista would not let me save
it to the old, newly added drive.
I want to transfer documents, pictures, and music directly to new hard drive
in new computer which is running Vista.
HOW?????
