Hiya, I just brought a usb enclosure case for a laptop harddrive and i put an all hard drive out of a dell laptop in it, when i connected it to the computer it installed the drivers and it was working normally but when i went to access it, it shows up as a cd drive on both my pc(vista) and laptop(xp). What should i do?
