Hiya all,

I have a problem, I just bought a new HDD for my pc  a sshd but still wanted to use my old disk so i bought a ewent docking station for my old disk.
Now when i try to access the my disk it says i need to format it which i dont want to because it still has a lot of data on it need to get back.
Is there a way to access the disk without formatting it through the dock station?

greets,
GwydreHook up the old HDD to the PC as a slave drive...or a external enclosure will work...
Have you installed an OS to the new HDD yet ? ?
Yes I have as its a faster harddrive, I installed the same windows 7 i had on my old one.
To set it as a slave in guess i need a connect those pins in the back of the disk RIGHT? i wanted to AVOID that as i dont have connector (guess i need to go to a shop to get one) how does the external enclosure work?
External enclosure holds the HDD and usually is a USB connection...

Average reviews on that dock BTW...can you still return it for refund ?
Yes, I bought it today so the store should still accept the refundThen swap it for an external enclosure....
Basically will ACCOMPLISH the same things.
Get 1 that has an A/C adapter...some also support all 3 HDD sizes like mine does...and it has a cooling fan.
The unit is made by Buffalo...but it's not here so i can't give you Model info...

Best of Luck.Thank you for the quick reply and help.It may be a Rosewell unit....look for both.
