    Accessing a Hard Drive...

    ...from a dead laptop.

    My girlfriend's laptop recently s**t the bed, and she has a lot of photos she would like to retrieve from it. I used a USB to IDE cable to try, but it's a no go. Her drive has Windows XP Home on it, and my system has Win7 x64. The computer recognizes the drive, but it wants me to initialize it, which I think may format it.

    I don't know if it's formatted FAT32 or NTFS. Are there any suggestions on accessing the drive to pull all this data off of it?

    My Seagate external hard drive is not detected when plugged in to USB port of my laptop using windows 10?

    Thanks for your response.

    I have tried all the steps provided, however in vain. The external hard drive is not identified at all in any of the the USB ports when connected. The USB ports identify other external Flash drives and devices. However this drive is detected in another laptop
    using Windows 7 OS. Please advise further.

    Regards

    Trying to access a USB hard drive on my laptop but I keep getting this error message.

    USB drive on TP Link router not accessible to only one laptop


    All laptops but one can access the USB drive on \\tplinklogin.net. All other devices have no problem either, phones etc.
    The error message reads:

    Trying to access a USB hard drive on my laptop but I keep getting this error message. [​IMG]

    The laptop has been away for over a month on another network and I suspect the access has been disabled due to that. Any suggestions?
