    If you are able to look at USB drives in BIOS (I think you can on some systems, but i'm not sure) take a look at it there, see how it shows up.

      I've never see it before I plugged in the old drive.

                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.

                For some reason it isn't recognizing my old drive.

                    It seems the problem is Vista isn't recognizing my old drive when I plug it in to the USB port.

                      They need to hire some more Indians for this tech support line.

                      I called at 17:30 and it is now 18:08.

                        Dell used XP when they built your old computer. The nice people who made your new one used Vista.

                        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.
