Hard Drive

[toonmilo]

I recently sent my laptop away for repair, but it could not be repaired, therefore under my insurance they got me a new one. They have also sent me my original hard drive back to me. The question is how can i get all the stuff i need from my old hard drive onto my new Laptop? What kind of adaptors do i need?

Thanks in advance

You could use something like this:

Assuming that fits the type of internal drive you have.

Go to PC world get a USB to 2 and a half inch IDE cable connector. If the cradle has not been removed from your harddrive do so connect one end of the cable to you old hard drive and the USB end into your laptop. At this point Windows should install the necessary drivers to run this and fter doing so go to My Computer and it should be listed as an external drive from which you can copy your files.
