Thanks everyone for the input. &nbsp;<br />
I have tested this on a few win 8 hdd's using win-7 O.S. and it does work.<br />
I was trying to do this on XP and it was not working very well.

Hello All. <br />
I am seeing issues with trying to read a windows 8 hard drive on another computer.<br />
If I remove the hard drive from the windows 8 computer and install it on a windows<br />
7 or xp box &nbsp;I can see it within drive manager but I can not make it assign a drive letter<br />
(mount) <br />
<br />
I can read the windows 8 hard drive within Linux <br />
<br />
any ideas ?<br />
<br />
Thanks
