Hello guys:

Well I have an hard drive into a external enclousure but the windows XP of a new CPU do not finish detect it when I connect it. But the same external hard drive work fine in my laptop. I formated my CPU 2 times, but i got the same error of Windows. My CPU has a new motherboard Foxconn M7VMX-K.

The USB ports work fine with my pendrive.

In my computer i can see a new hard drive with a letter (K:), whithout data.

The Windows XP Administrator Disk doesn't show nothing about the external hard drive.

Sorry, my english isn't perfect!.

Please help me, thanks guys,

Did you make new partitions and format it when you got it? It is not a good idea to rely on the formatting that comes with it.

Use Testdisk to recover the partition. Then copy your data off the drive and remove all the partitions. Start from scratch. Partition it on an XP machine, if possible, because Vista uses a new partition format (but is back-compatible with XP).
