    I'm trying to move some data from an old computer onto a new(er) laptop. I removed the hard drive from the old machine and installedi it into a hard drive enclosure that I purchased. When I plug it into a USB port, everythihng seems to connect fine. I can see the hard drive when I go into Device Manager, but when I go to Disk Management, it only shows my original laptop hard drive (and the CD-ROM).

    Any thoughts? Thanks
