I have a older External Harddrive (SCSI)hooked up through the Printer Port, but im unable to get windows to pick up it at all. Im trying to transfer some Info to another computer sence i dont have a cd burner. I need to know if there's a certain way to hooking these harddrives up (external), im alittle confused and stuck here. Any comment's would help alot.
