hi all

laptop packed in last week

ive removed the hard drive (western digital Scorpio 250 Gb)from the laptop and now need to try and get data off it...

so i got one of those external drive stations (manhattan 130042) you can house the laptop drive in and placed the hard drive into it.

when i plug the station into my PC (usb) the pc recognises it but i can only see some strangely named folders and cannot access any of my stuff. am i doing anything wrong?

thanks in advance!
