my windows vista does not show up my HDD
The thing is this, i took out from a pc a HDD barracuda 7200.7, which had installed linux, then i connected it to my laptop via USB, my laptop is running on vista and i do not know why it does not show the HDD i went into administration tools and did everything, try to initialize it, and nothing happened, tried to put a different letter to the drive and it just do not let me do anything at all, i change the jumpers position and tried again, i did everything i could, but the HDD is there, but when i get to my computer menu, it does not show up, finally i have got a usb booteable SLAX, and when i use SLAX, the HDD is there, the thing is that i want to use a recovery files program and i can not use it, because i am not familiarized with SLAX, i tried to put the software on modules, and the software are there but, the bloody thing is not working or not executing, i tried a lot of commands, and nothing, i could not get through the bloody software to run it.... i am really desperate now, if anyone could help in this annoying situation i will appreciate it.
