Is thier a way to bring off files from an older laptop hard drive?
I have an older Win 2000 laptop that is busted. Its screen is done. I have tons of pictures on the hard drive that I want to get off. I took my new laptop and took the H/D out and tried to put the old H/D in but the connections didnt fit.
What options do I have to get these pics back? It has a ton of pictures of my first born and its going to kill me if I cant get them back.
THANKS!!
Answers:
Try getting an external enclosure. You can put the old HDD in it and you can connect it like a USB Hard drive.

This is one is nice because if you need to draw more power, it has two USB cables to connect to your laptop.
I'm sure someone has an easier way, but I would install the old harddrive in an external case. It should hook up to a USB port, and then use a USB to USB transfer cable. You can find this cable reasonably priced at Worldstart.com>Software Store,(top header), Cool Gadgets<(left column), 2nd page, USb to USB Crossover Network Cable. About $18.95 plus tx, free shipping.
