XP can't read data from transferred HD
- by Alexander Miller
Computer A, running XP, died.
XP was installed on a fresh HD in computer B.
Slaved data-backup HD from A was installed as slave on B. B will not read it; shows only 2 folders, Recycler and System Volume Info. All of these are older machines with IDE drives.
What's going on & how can I read/transfer the data from the transferred drive?
This was only a trial run. Actually I will need to transfer the master HD from A - which has XP on it - and read from its data partition because (blush) the backup drive was not up to date.
