Can't Read Dell SATA drive
Here is problem. Son's computer died. Dell XPS with Raid 320's. Motherboard died. Built him a new computer. I5 system running Windows 7. Assumed I could salvage his data. Installed 1 of the drives and Bios and Windows sees the drive. However, windows wants to format the drive, says there is no active partition. Tried Second drive, which should be his old "C". Same thing. Wants to format it. Is there something special about the way Dell sets up its drives? Something Win7 does not see? I think the drive is fine. Any thoughts?
note: all are SATA drives, new and old
TIA
