I have a new computer, but cannot access the old one as there is an issue with the operating system. I have tried to re-install the O/S, but cannot find the registration code. A long story--but cannot retrieve it from Microsft website. What I would like to do is remove the harddrive from the older computer, and just use it as a second harddrive with the new computer. ( I want to remove some of the files from the old drive, then I don't really care about it anymore). Can this be done? How would I connect the old drive to the new computer? It would appear that I would have to use the ribbon cable as their is no usb port on the old drive. But I wouldn't mind opening the tower and temporarily using the ribbon cable. Or should I just take the drive to a specialist and pay him to do it? Thank to anyone who can help.
