Okay, so I am pretty sure this doesn't work but, I just want to make sure.

So, I have this old computer with Windows XP, and it has a HDD that has information I need. However, I want it on another computer. That computer has Windows 7 with its own HDD.

Is there any possible way for me to get the data from the old computer to the new one? Thanks.
 
Solution
if the old drive is a sata you can just install it in your other computer.you should be able to access the data.if the old drive is ide and your computer doesnt have an ide port you can get adapters to hookup the drive.
