My office computer crashed the other day and there is no way I can virtually get into the computer. I was wondering if I could take the Seagate hard drive from the dell computer and move it into my custom computer back at home and move pictures/documents onto a flash drive to recover it.
I've already tried, but here are the problems:
The computer takes so long to boot from. I choose to boot from my Samsung SSD (Which is my main hard drive I use at home for personal use), but it never boots up. It stays at "Starting Windows" and it just stays there.
The other thing I tried was to disconnect the power cord and Sata cable from the Seagate Hard Drive and first boot up from my Samsung SSD then plug in the Seagate Hard Drive. It booted up just fine and I plugged in the Sata Cable and Power cord to the HDD and I opened it via windows button>Computer>Selecting the Hard Drive, but I found nothing in there.
I use windows 7 on both computers by the way.
Is there a way I can recover data from a hard drive by putting the hard drive into another computer?
There probably are some grammar mistakes that I will fix along the way.
