Extracting Data from a HD
 

My dad went and fucked his computer up. Even though I bought him an external hard drive to put his pictures in, he never backed them up. AWESOME.

I took out his hard drive from the old computer (which is not worth fixing) and put it in his new one he got from newegg. (Did you now you can get a triple core amd with 4 gb of ram for $400?)

The hard drive shows up on Vista's my computer, but I can't access it; every time I click it the computer tells me I must format it.

What software do I need to acess the data on this hard drive?

Thanks,

GetDataBack.

It's not really free, but it can be easily found for "Free"...:D

I will try it out and let you know how it goes. I tried hdmechanic but it isn't compatible with vista.
