Start where??

Postby kleanchap on Sat Feb 07, 2009 4:24 pm

Hi,

I have a disk from an old machine which were trashed. The disk is "20 GB - Seagate Model ST320014A". I pulled the disks out a longtime ago. Now I want to retrieve the data on this disk. Where do I start?

I got rid of all my desktop systems at home for about 3 years now and my main computer is a laptop. With this in mind, how do I power the disk, read/retrieve the disk contents? What kind of tools do I need?

Thank you in advance for any help.

Hi,

I hope your laptop has USB, so you need an adapter from ATA 3.5"/2.5" and/or SATA to USB.
With this adapter you can connect your old HDD to laptop.
Tools... I think you can retrieve files from your current operating system.
It depends, which file system is on your HDD.
