    Okay, I've upgrade the stock CF-30 80GB HD to a slightly larger 120GB one while upgrading to Windows 7. XP is on the 80GB along with data I want off of it.

    As I had TPM enabled, I reading that I can't use anything else other than the original computer to read the HD. Now, I've put it back in the 30, verified it boots up, then went into the BIOS to disable the TPM.

    Well, now I STILL can't read the HD or format it or do anything with it.

    I have a similar thing with a 120GB PATA drive I took out of a CF-29 as well. How can I fix this!!? I just want to format the HDs!
