    i've got an old hard drive that i need to get files, homework and stuff off of. i don't want to pull the new computer apart and mess up the warranty. i was told that i could hook up by using the usb. does anybody know how to do that or what the easiest way to get files off a dead computer?

    Note the page buggabear linked to are enclosures for laptop drives not drives coming out of a desktop computer.
    If your old hard drive was in a desktop, no0ne of those enclosures will work.
