QUESTION :
I just upgraded to Windows 7.
I have an old western Digital Hard drive that is 120GB’s of Data. I have everything that my life holds digitally dear on it. I can’t find the Driver for it on Western Digital and Well my Windows 7 Device manager sees it, but Windows 7 does not. I have tried everything that comes to mind, wondering if there is any hack now that I can at least get my data off of this drive.
The Model is:
WDC WD1200JB-75CRA0 ATA Device
BTW, I am not going to give up on this. Please help!!!
Side Note: I still have the old operating system files on my hard drive. If anyone can point me to where the driver might be hidden on the old windows OS??
ANSWER :
All you need to do is assign a drive letter. You should be able to do this by right clicking My Computer > Manage > Disk Management. From there you will see your partition(s) and you simply right click > change driver letters and paths > assign a letter.
