Old Hard Drive (....very old!)
Came across old pc in attic and it doesn't want to start up (not surprising really I suppose). However, I figure there is probably some stuff on the hard drive that I may like to copy / retain before it finally goes to the great recycling centre in the sky.
Ok, so it's years old, guessing 12(!). Isn't there something about different bus speeds that would prevent me putting the HD into my newer pc (3yrs) and copying any info I may want? Or is there a work around to it.
The PC tends to hang on startup, but there's a tiny amount of memory in it and it is an, erm, old, erm pc, maybe from the erm, 486 era... ssshhh......
I haven't tried it, as I wasn't sure of the potential consequences.
Any thoughts?
