    Hey ya'll!

    Ok... I just got a new system and it's running Vista Basic. I have an IDE hard drive that was used as a slave drive in my XP system and I wanted to use it as a USB external drive in my new system. It's loaded with all my MP3 files, so any solution anyone may have that involves formatting is not an option.

    Can anyone walk me though how to add this drive in Administrative Tools? When connected, Windows recognizes the drive and installs the drivers... but it's not showing up in My Computer. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks!
