how_supra Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Is there a way I can transfer all my data of my old hard drive onto a new laptop. Bearing in mind I can't switch my old computer [laptop] on anymore because it ate the adapter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Buy one of these and connect your laptop drive up in a PC and a secondary drive and pull the info off http://www.casecooler.com/3drto2dr.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 Get an external carrier for the harddrive, around £20, and put the drive into that, and plug it into the USB, two secs I'll find it Here... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-5-External-Hard-Disk-Drive-Case-USB-1-1-2-0-4-Colour_W0QQitemZ180098312419QQcategoryZ86758QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 Blimey that was quick. I take it that either of those options work despite the fact that my "laptop that is too be replaced very shortly because I broke it" doesn't turn on, won't matter? Sorry if Im being dim.

With both those options, you physically take the drive out of the machine, so the fact that it doesn't turn on, doesn't really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted March 20, 2007 Author Share Posted March 20, 2007 ah ha, jolly good. So I need a screwdriver then. Thank you. Thats good to know I've not lost my files as I have photos and stuff which mean a lot more to me than the damn computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
