You might want to get a kit that allows you to connect to the sata drive

from your laptop via usb. I ordered one of those off the internet and used

it to pull data from a drive just a few weeks ago.

Subject: [NF] SATA Drive & a Dead PC...

Hello there folks,

Here's the deal. I have a desktop PC that was my main PC - but, it died

several months ago. I have my laptop - which has been my primary computing

device for quite a while now - but, the desktop PC has some stuff on there

that's not on my laptop.

FYI - the computer does attempt to Boot up - and even starts loading the OS

(WinXP Pro 64) - and comes up with the MS logo. But, during the boot up - it

eventually fails and drops to a BSOD screen - which is always a lovely thing

to see!

Someone on the list here (although he hasn't gotten back to me in a while -

and I think he has been busy and hasn't been checking e-mails for a while)

suggested I connect the main boot drive to another computer

- and run ChkDsk. Well, I tried connected it to my laptop - but, the OS did

NOT actually "SEE" the drive. I attempted to actually connect it inside of

my wife's PC - but, when it booted - Same thing - it was like the OS could

not "SEE" the drive!

So - I'm getting kinda desperate here - and hoping someone can help me out.

Again - if I put it BACK in the original PC - it does attempt to Boot - but,

then the BSOD comes up...

TIA,

-K-
