Hi there i'm wondering if anyone can help me? basically my hard drive on my old pc stopped working so i bought a hard drive enclosure to try and turn it into an external and salvage my files, however when i connect this to my laptop it is recognised as 2 seperate hard drives, one with a 15gb size and the other 5.99gb. The bigger one is completely empty while the other just contains some system files. The hard drive is actually 160gb in size so i have no idea what is wrong, can anyone shed any light on this please?? (The hard drive ran xp while my laptop runs vista is this makes a difference?)

Thanks
