SEMTEX Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 How old a hard drive? Has it been used on this computer before? I'm thinking incompatible file system or something. Is the data worth keeping? (just re-format it if not) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 It's an old backup - not used on the current machine - I'll try it on another one and if that doesn't work press the big red switch Cheers Rob W Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
