Dead machine

[mrsmooth]

Probably simple answer to this

Computer has just died - RIP.

Will need to get a new system but want to recover some info from hardisk. Where can I get a connector (or what type) for the internal hardisk if I remove it . Are there usb connectors available?

when the new machine arrives, plug the old drive it into that as a slave and copy all the information you need to your new drive.

It depends on the hard drive you have but you can pick up a dock with both IDE and Sata connections that connect via usb to the new computer.

 

Heres an example on misco theres quite a few others out there too.

 

StarTech Hard Drive Dock for SATA & IDE Drives

 

I have got a hard drive dock at work for purposes like this or anything else.

 

Hope that helps
