externial hdd

[kman458]

I have a couple hard drives from a couple of old laptops and would like to see if there is anything worth saving on them. I got an enclosure to put them in. When I connect it to my computer I can see the files but not what is on them (ie) pictures, music, and books. I know in older windows you got an option to open and see what was on the disk. Help me see what is on them.

I'd recommend a sata to usb cable (i assume you're using a laptop?)

Derek, I have one of those and yes it's a laptop.

 

 

Alexsolo, Not sure about the green line thing but I can see the folders and the files inside it. What I want to do is be able to look at any pictures, music, or books loaded on those hdds so I can load them on this laptop.

 

I appreciate y'alls replys

Hummm so I have 2 hard drives that I can not see what's on them nor do anything with them if I could. Interesting indeed.
