My old PC broke down so I have invested in a new laptop. The laptop is Apple, so I am going to use a different, Windows, PC in the house. I plug the old hard drive into a Windows 7 PC via SATA internally. So it shows up as a local disk and I can access the drive.
HOWEVER, I have no idea how to actually get to and extract my actual documents, photos etc from the hard drive, once running on Windows 7 as well, actually it still will be on it. I don't want to change the priorities of the hard drives in this computer because it doesn't belong to me, you know.
I have heard about putting a jumper on the hard drive but it just seems to make it overheat? Only messing, should I do something like this and turn it into a 'slave'.
I just need to make it so that I can actually access my old files from my desktop and documents folders so i can copy and paste them onto my new laptop.
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
