Cannot read old hard drive from usb
I've just installed a new hard drive and installed windows and when I try to connect my old one via a usb enclosure it won't read the main partition. It reads the recovery partition fine but when accessing the main partition it keeps asking me whether I want to format the drive or not and shows up to have 0 bytes out of 0 bytes. (obviously I'm not going to format it) I know the drive is still working and not corrupted as when I replace it back into my laptop it works fine again. The drive is a 500GB sata 2 if that helpsAnybody any ideas on how I can read it? I don't understand how it can read the recovery partition but not the main one.
