I built a new Windows 7, Intel i5 system with SATA HD. I wish to transfer data from old IDE HD to the new, SATA HD. I am using a USB to IDE bridge connection to transfer the data. The new computer sees the IDE and indicates the device is working correctly. However, I don't know how to "look into" the IDE and transfer the files I want.

The IDE has been set to slave, master with slave, and master. I use Driver Boost to make sure I have the required drivers.

Where do I go now to locate files on the IDE HD I want to upload?

The drive doesn't show under Computer

What if you right click on Computer and Select Manage > Disk Management. See it there?

[2wsnyder]

Under disk management, I see the disk. However, its noted as unknown and not initialized. As the drive came out of an older computer (XP Pro), I don't think it the case.

That would indicate it is not formatted, or it is corrupted. Are you sure it was working fine before?

[2wsnyder]

I believe so. I think my nest step will be to remount in its original computer and try from that point.

Sounds like a plan.
