Old Hard Drive
« on: April 07, 2007, 04:56:52 PM »
After some external damage to my old computer, various parts were removed and saved.
Is there any way of taking the photographs stored on the old disc drive and transfering them to the new computer. Any help would be gratefully received and please bear in mind I have no computer building experience

Quite a few ways.  If you could, some information on the PC setups would be helpful. :)

The easiest and safest method would be to take the old HDD and hook it up to a known working machine and jumper it as a slave drive...
You should then be able to see it in Windows Explorer and copy/save any info on that drive...
