    Hope its in the right forum Mods.I have this Internal hard drive which i retrieved from my very old broken PC.I have alot of old photo s which i would like to retrieve.

    The connector settings are

    40 pin conn ,10 pin and power 4 pin.

    Is it poss to get a lead with a usb or similar connection to connect the internal hd and then to my new existing pc without having to take off the Desktop covers.My new Pc has 4 ports on the front panel(not USB)

    the specs

    a 3.5" IDE external enclosure should do the trick, wouldn't it? souldn't cost more than 20-30 euro. depending on what wrong with the old pc, you could boot a live linux cd on it and copy everything off it.

    ur hard drive description ...give us the model number..can it be a ide&sata on same drive !??
    also,your pc has front usb ports according to you link.

    why don't you get hard drive in the case,run a full backup from hard drive to another drive and/or to dvds so you can have piece of mind !?
