I took a hard drive out of one comptuer and put it into the other. It said it found it - but there is no data on it. I could format it, but I wanted the data?

Which OS do you have on the computers ? It could be that the target PC has Windows9x wheteas the source PC has Win2K/XP.
Windows 9x can't read NTFS which is used with 2X/XP.

If that is not the issue, we need more info about what the problem really is (do you get an error message, what PCs are you using etc. etc.)

I put the xp harddrive in and it found it. I'm not sure what happened. At one point, I know I forgot that i created a logical drive and was looking at the wrong drive. I'm all set
