I'm trying to read some old SATA drives using a Liteon Ultra enclosure.
windows disk management (Win10 Pro)sees the disk but says it needs to

Any ideas as to how to procede?

Boot a live linux CD and use better tools

Out of iunterest why are you usin an enclosure?Â* isn't it easier to link
the sata cables to your motherboard?


Will try Linux if I can find a CD. Using an enclosure as position of
computer israther restricted. Enclosure has a slip on lid that makes it
easy to change disk.
thanks for your input.
