Help
Hey all, much help would be appreciated. Laptop died and I got the 2.5" IDE drive out. I plug it into a USB converter which I got today and I plug it in on Vista. The device is seen as a Mass Storage Device in the Device Manager. It always says I can Safely Remove Hardware. The light is green on the converter and the drive is vibrating as I guess its spinning. However it doesn't show up in My Computer.
Any help? :/

I'm fair bit of a noob- is this in the device manager under disk drives?

Follow this guide to access the Disk Manager tool under Windows Vista.
It should list all drives that are detected, even if they're damaged/won't show up in My Computer.
