Awhile back i bought a laptop for the kids.i used it a little bit and recently...somehow..they crushed the screen
i took the HDD out (HM500LI) and bought a caddy so i could get some of my stuff off of there..
its a USB (2 usb to PC 1 to caddy) and when i plug it in...PC recognizes it as an "External HDD" but of course it has an OS on it and wont let me access the files
i went into BIOS and made the external HD my first to boot....but still goes straight to my current HD
the caddy HD is Vista...current PC is Win7
the external HDD is running and the light is green...but thats all i get out of it
any suggestions?
i can provide more info if needed
