My computer recently stopped working, so I took it to Staples and they said it was essentially dead, but the could retrieve the data and they put it in an external hard drive (an acomdata, 3.5" hard drive enclosrure).
But the problem lies in trying to open it. I'm operating on XP, my computer knows it's there because when I plug it in it makes a noise, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. It won't let me install the software because it says I don't need it.
And the "safely remove hardware" icon was in the tray but when I opened that, there's nothing there.
Also whatever's inside is rattling around, is that good?
Does anyone have any ideas, I really want to get my files off it!
Thanks in advance!
