Hello All, Im trying to backup my info off my laptop because it wont boot. I took the hard drive out and put it in my little gizmo for making hard drives an external drive and I could copy everything I want then I could re-install windows. The issue is I put the harddrive in the device and it read the drive but I cant see all my files on the drive. Im running windows 7 on my desktop to view the files. Someone please help me out in accessing my files so I wont loose all my info. Thanks Joey
