My folks have an older dell with an IDE HD, no SATA, and I want to get files off this old HD (which is dying, either HD, MB, RAM or CPU are starting to fail) which has XP onto the new HD running Windows 7 (not the entire HD, just word documents, pictures, etc.) of their new Dell Inspiron 660's SATA HD.
Is there an adapter that will let me go from Legacy on the old HD to the SATA on the new MB?
If not, what is the best way to do this? I can fire up the old PC, and it will probably work long enough to get the files, but its really really slow, and other than a 16 GB Flash Drive, I don't have any portable storage to make the transfer.
