how to recover data from old HDD anyone since i changed my old school mobo, to a new one. i had to get a new HDD as well...because my old HDD has no sata hook up lol does anyknow know how i might be able to recover files from it? tia~ |
so your old drive is pata right? most new mobo still have pata connection, set the drive to slave and boot it up. Should work |
haha I never knew those things were also called PATA. i just always called them IDE Drives Anyways - that or you can buy an enclosure and use the drive as an external USB drive as well :) |
you can get a IDE to SATA converter/adapter, you can find them at NCIX or ME for 10 to 30 bucks. |
parallel/ata ide same thing :p but yea above suggestions work as well |
I'd prefer to use an IDE to USB adapter personally. That way there is no confusion over which drive to boot from, you don't have to shutdown your current machine...etc. |

Just get this. Mukii Transimp Series 2.5"/3.5"/5.25" IDE/SATA I/II HDD/SSD to USB 2.0 Storage Adapter - Black - Mukii - TIP-Q120U2SI Has the usb to ide adapter amongst others as well as an external power supply. Can't go wrong for $19.99. However if you're planning on using the drive a lot consider am external housing for the drive. |
