Title: Question about issue with computer
Post by: matt0518 on January 07, 2010, 12:33:55 AM
Hello,

I have a Dell laptop that earlier this week was ruined by some sort of liquid, and will not come on, I was thinking the motherboard is ruined, because I've looked in to power supply problems and other things, but, I know my hard drive is fine..... here is my real question

I took the hard drive out, and have purchased a device to hook my existing hard drive into another computer I have. When I download everything off of my hard drive, onto the computer, I know I will be able to keep my Itunes music, however I also have limewire downloaded and when I download songs from that, I transfer it onto Itunes. Now, when I download everything onto the computer, will I still be able to salvage my limwire content that is on my Itunes, or will I only have the music I purchased and the music I've ripped from personal CD's?

If the other computer is a desktop, you could actually install it as a second hard drive. In either case though, you'll be able to access your files exactly as they were stored on the disk. Every single one.

No he won't. Memory and disk space are different things.
