I do this and I get a menu, I click on "Disk management", and up pops a submenu which lists "Disk 0 232.83 GB" and "Disk 1 Unknown". It seems D: is a Vista Partition on my main C: drive.Originally posted by LordShiva

Dell used XP when they built your old computer. The nice people who made your new one used Vista.Originally posted by Oerdin
I never put any partition on the hard drive. It was just a Dell computer which came preloaded with Windows XP. The new computer uses Vista. I honestly can't explain this.
It's really quite simple.(\__/)

OK, I'm still on hold but I got Windows to recognize the old drive. I forgot to remove the jumper on the back so that the drive was configured to be a master and not a slave. I removed the jumper and now Windows recognizes it as drive F: . Slowly making progress.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.
