crash

Recently my computer started making sounds (clunking?), losing icons, and finally crashed. I rebooted but got the same results. On the next try, it wouldn't reboot. Finally I used the reboot disc, but it failed. I bought a new computer!

However, and now that you know the symptoms, is there some way to access the hard drive of the crashed computer? I had backed up everything important, but not everything I wish I still had! I would like to retrieve some photographs.

Thanks.:wave

 

You can attach the hd of your old computer to the new computer either internally as a slave or externally through the USB port. If you go the external route, you can either buy a connector PATA/SATA to USB, similar to this http://www.sataadapter.com/SATA-IDE...ter-for-harddrives-sata-drives-ide-drives.jpg
or buy an external case and place the hd inside.
