windows 7 machine that won't boot up
I have a windows 7 Pro machines that wont boot up. I have tried last know good..., safe mode and system repair but no luck. I need to somehow get the data off the hard drive. I took the hard drive out and put in another computer, the dish management sees the hard drive but My computer does not does not recognize it for me to copy data off HD. Within disk managemnt, it does not have an option to assign drive letter. My only option is to Delete when I right click on the HD. How can I mount the drive so I can copy data off it?
thanks

Jim R,
It looks like win 7 does not bring into the command prompt to run chkdsk like win XP does when you boot CD and go into Repair Computer.
The drive recognize within Bios, Device manager or disk management on another computer, but can't assign drive letter so MY COMPUTER can see it.

Here is the diskpart commad with list disk: (it shows the HD problem with 149 gig, which is what I need) 
diskpart is not able to detect the volume...is this a ide hard drive...if yes then check the jumper settings...if sata then connect it to a different port.

What Win 7 DVD are you using? Note the screenshots at this link. Command Prompt is one of the options.
What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
However it looks like you are on a different track now and I'll leave you to the other experts. I don't want to confuse the issue, I just wanted to point this out for your future reference.
