I took my external hard drive to my daughter's house to 'lift' a video
and some music of her note book PC which has Windows 7.

I assumed that I would be able to just plug into the USB port - but the
note book would identify the external drive - but wouldn't open it or
even acknowledge anything was on it.

Any ideas what was the issue - would I need to install the drivers onto
the notebook?

You need to set permissions for the drive, have a quick Google
on 'take possession' of a drive/folder etc.

IOW's the file protection system is working and you need to take
ownership of the drive contents.

Looks feasible. Thanks

And you do that by looking it right in the eye and not letting it near
the fridge
