that's what I thought. so why did it screw up the drive? the original 
computer can't boot from it, and and just goes in a loop from 
'Diagnosing your drive' to 'preparing to repair your drive' to 
rebooting, over and over, without achieving anything

I've often put drives of all sorts into a USB box to read them. nothing 
like this has ever happened before. all I can think of is it's because 
it was a 'C' (boot) drive and windoze got 'confused'
