My stomach has been sickened by the loss of my hard drive. I have no idea who this all works or what it all means so I thought it meant the loss of my photos/songs/docs, etc. Your video makes me feel hopeful and that this situation is not insurmountable. Thanks Dad!

Thank you so very much for this information. I failed to update my insurance on a 2 year old Dell Inspiron and dropped it last weekend. I've since purchased a new Dell 15.6" 7000, 8 generation i7, from Dell and I'm setting it up now. I have so much on the Inspiron and I was so so worried I would loose everything. You're a blessing.

This is such a great instructional piece! I'd been putting off getting my old mac G4 desktop to a recovery service to get my kids' growing-up photos; I did have them backed up but the external drive the data's on isn't available. Now I'll open up that graphite tower and get everything off it, as well as off several olds laptops while I'm at it. Thanks!!!

Thank you for this video. Does this also work if a hard drive disk doesn't work (and or) doesn't have cables on it? My HP one used to have a cable that was connected to the motherboard. (not sure if it's dead or not but my HP wouldn't read it anymore) I'm trying to transfer it to my Toshiba and putting the HP hard drive manually doesn't work on it.

Thanks for this. I've been trying to get data off of an old hard drive, but ran into an IDE roadblock. I just purchased the FIDECO SATA/IDE to USB 3.0 Adapter that you linked to and I'm hoping that'll work without issue. It does cost more than $10, but in the end it's still cheaper than paying $50 at a shop to have someone else do it and I can reuse it on newer hard drives in the future.

@c.d.silbernagel 3 года назад

I got the adapter in the mail earlier and now I'm trying to get my PC to read the hard drive but it just keeps stalling near the end. Any suggestions?
