Retrieving data from old system drive
Hi All,
I recently upgraded my Win7 system (motherboard, CPU, RAM, HDD) and part of that upgrade was purchasing a new 1TB hard drive. I decided to use that as my new System Drive. My old system drive was a Samsung 500gb and I figured that I'd be able to plug it in and transfer my old data off after I reinstalled Windows 7. However, when I plugged it in Windows displayed my new hard drive (the 1TB) and a 99mb "System Reserved" drive of which there was 72mb available. I checked in Disk Management and it appeared that the System Reserved partition didn't belong to my 500gb, it actually belonged to the new system drive, yet it only showed up after I plugged the old drive in.
I can't seem to find a way to access the data of the old drive and I've been cruising Google for a couple of hours now with no success. Any help would be hugely appreciated!
Peace, Nik.
