Very n00bie question, I'm afraid

Hi everyone

I have inherited 2 PCs from a friend and a relative.

They both have their own problems ....

One is a Dell that has a SATA 250gb HD in it, and my friend would like all of his photos and MP3s back off it, but the PC wont boot so I thought I would order an enclosure for the HD and plug it into my mac and get them off, but I ordered an IDE enclosure instead - there is nothing I can do with that, am I right??

Your patience will be greatly appreciated, as I have a feeling I'll be spending a lot of time on forums in the coming months!!

I'm predominantly a mac user, so tinkering with PCs is all new to me!!

Yes, order a different one.

OK, well that's that answered!! Thanks!!

Why are IDE drives more expensive than SATA??

 

[Fetal]

... Because they are old. Old products, even if new, cost more. That's how things work.

i know, starting answers with because is wrong
