I have this 2.5" laptop HDD which I think had 3-4 partitions. I t was in laptop which has been sold now. I kept the HDD with myself. I bought this 2.5" HDD enclosure from ebay and put the HDD in the enclosure and connected the same to my laptop. It detected the HDD fine (i think), drivers installed and all messages came.
But the HDD did not appear in my computer. Same thing happened when i connected the external HDD to another laptop.
Now when i go to computer management, i can see the additional drive but no capacity is shown. I have attached a screenshot here. I cannot do much here except when i right click i have option to convert to basic disk, no idea what that means. But it says if i convert to basic disc it will delete all the data.
Is there any way to use the HDD without losing the data ? Or at least backup the data before i convert to basic or whatever.
Any way out ?
PS: The Disk1 says Dynamic and Invalid :S
