HELP

Hi please help or I am in deep shi* !!!

I have a Synology DiskStation with a 250G IDE drive fitted

I have sold the Synology Disk Station 101J and removed the IDE drive, I have fitted the IDE drive to a Akasa external encloser. Now the information on the hard drive is very important to me.

I thought I could just fit into the Akasa and then plug it into the USB port and bobs your uncle


But no I have followed the instructions and it says the following

Control panel
Administrative Tools
Computer Management
Disk Management

Now I can see the drive labeled as disk 3 but it seems to be split into 2

Now as you can see I have 232GB how the hell do I access my information on there as it wont asign a drive letter. The only option I have is to delete the partition.

Please please help

I'm using VISTA
