ste riley Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 Hi, I have an external hard drive that the usb connection has broken on the case, i have only a laptop pc so how can i get the info of the hard disk on to my laptop Quote
turk90210 Posted October 15, 2009 Report Posted October 15, 2009 Having never seen an external hard drive but can it not be opened up to get access to the drive itself, am thinking out loud here as have seen hard drive caddies where you put a hard drive in. If so I think you can buy adapters from maplins How badly broken is the usb connection could you not make something up to get it connected on a temp basis to get your info/data off Quote

big_kev Posted October 16, 2009 Report Posted October 16, 2009 Make sure you know whether the hard drive is SATA or PATA as this will determine the replacement case you require. Quote
El Dingo Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 Before you buy from Maplins, check out prices at www.ebuyer.co.uk or www.novatech.com.Maplins is VERY expensive. Quote
