I have an older desktop PC running WinXP that crashed.  I had 2 - 320GB hard drives.  I have mounted the drives in an external enclosure, but can't get onto the drives with a new core i7 desktop running Win7.  I don't see the drive when I try to access them

through 'my computer', but when I run 'Computer Management' and then 'Disk Management', the console SEES the drive and gives this info:

<span>It shows as a volume with no drive letter - only as 'Disk 10' </span>

<span>Layout: Simple </span>

<span>Type: Basic </span>

<span>File System:  none shown </span>

<span>Status:  Healthy (Active, Primary Partition) </span>

<span>Capacity:  298.09 GB </span>

<span>Free Space:  298.09 % </span>

<span>Free:  100% </span>

<span>Fault Tolerance:  No </span>

<span>Overhead:  0% </span>

<span>It is shown as being 'Online' There IS data on the disk even though it shows 100% empty.....so what does that indicate?

</span>

<span>If I right click on the drive, ONLY the 'Delete Volume: and 'Help' are active - everything else is greyed out so I can 't change anything.

</span>

<span>So, help would sincerely be appreciated.</span>
