I have a 3.5 EIDE Enclosure for a WD 80G Caviar hard drive.
It shows up in Disk Management, but will not let me issue a drive letter or path.
Here is what it has as it:


I have data on it, but don't want to lose any.
Any help?!

No, I can only connect it via USB through the enclosure. But the enclosure supports it, but can't understand why it's showing up like this.

My EIDE Enclosure is working fine, the only problem is that the drive isn't recognized as any letter drive. I got the drive from an old XBOX. The drive was working fine before i transfered it to the enclosure.

i think you have to use a xbox program something like "unlocker" to be able to use the drive in a pc. check in these links to see if there is any info about that.

i couldn't find anything. All of the links for the programs are dead.
Most of them were doing the opposite of what I am trying to do.
Seems that XP likes the enclosure more than Vista since it automatically recognized the drive. But still am having the issue of trying to access it as (F:)
