hens Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Last year I had a desktop PC, I sold it and kept the internal HDD with all my data. Now I am going to get a Laptop with Windows Vista, I would like to directly connect up my old HDD to it using an external HDD case - however I might not be able to gain access to the files because the HDD contains the XP OS and is not a dedicated external drive/slave.If so can anyone help, there must be a work around or maybe Vista will let me?Thanks,hens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 I had a similar situation to you last year and bought an external 3.5" USB hard drive caddy for about £30 to house a hard drive swapped out from my dektop computer.I was able to transfer all my files via the USB link and now use the home made external drive for taking regular Acronis back-ups of my laptop hard drive.Similar to this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
