oli Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 My computer was recently nakered and I need to get the data off the drive. I am claiming on insurance so I will be getting a new computer, probably with vista. The hard drive at the moment has got xp and is a three and a half inch ide drive, i think. about 6 years old so not SATA. I was just wondering the best way to get the data off it, music etc. I tried to put it in my windows 2000 computer and it asked me to format it before I could do anything with it, would this be the same with vista or possibly another xp computer? Obviously I considered a hard drive caddy, would this work? Homer: I never apologise, im sorry Lisa. Thats just the way i am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFiresInTheSky Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 I believe a HD caddy would work. I would just be sure you can return it before you purchase it. I'm not sure why it asks you to format it in your pc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
