Hello,
My father had two HDs in an old machine, Windows 3.1 old. I tried hooking these HDs up to our newer machines with an external USB enclosure. The problem is Windows won't load them as viewable. They show up under Computer Management, but I can't assign them a drive letter or anything. The drives themselves are small, I just want to be able to copy their contents into a folder on the current HD. Anyone know how to do this in Windows. Do I need special software? Thanks for any help.
What the drives look like in Computer Management:

For whatever reason one drives shows up as one FAT and one FAT32 drive, neither with a drive letter.
