Hello,
I pulled a harddrive out of my old computer running windows 98 and installed it into a Mass storage device. I then plugged it into a desktop running xp.
I can't read it, is there something I need to do?

can't access data on my usb mass storage

Hello,

I have a 500GB Western Digital usb mass storage device with lots of data on it, and I have been using it without problems for several months. Now when I plug it in, the drive comes up in my computer as drive E as it usually does, but when I click it it asks me if I want to format it-when I click "no" I can't access the drive. If I format it again won't I lose all my files? The drive properties show 0kb for free space and 0kb for used space. What happened to the 300+ GB of files I stored on the drive? Is there another way to access the data on the drive? Thanks in advance for the help!
