good HDD showing up as RAW asking for format via USB cradle
I have a laptop that boots up to windows 7 pro 64 just fine. I went to copy some files to another windows 7 pro 64 machine. I took the HDD out of the laptop and connected it to my external caddy on my desktop. The drive shows up as a healthy drive, but in RAW format. Its asking me to format it.
Why is this happening? I looked around for answers and saw something about permissions, but I don't have the security tab to even change the permissions of the drive.
any help would be appreciated.
