[QUOTE="a1, post: 265240, member: 2"] Hi Mate, Thanks for your reply. I have been doing some research, as that is the way that I seem to recall. But, it says that is not foolproof and damage can be caused to the PC settings etc. Apache PMd me just now while I was doing some research into it (I know, I should have done this before posting). and this is an extract of my reply: I have just taken photos of my hard drives, and thought I'd do some research into them when I came across this: [URL="http://tips4pc.com/articles/computer%20troubleshooting/recover_emails_files_data_from_crashed_computer_.htm"][COLOR=#417394]http://tips4pc.com/articles/computer..._computer_.htm[/COLOR][/URL] That was saying about SATA and IDE Hard drives. I have 2 IDE and 1 SATA - bloody typical. but there again, I don't mind as long as they work. I don't know though, as I am sure that I have been a little rough with them in the past, and seem to recall dropping one of them. :_| I have been looking on eBay at these, so far: [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=3.5+External+Hard+drive+case&_sacat=0&_odkw=External+Hard+drive+case&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313"][COLOR=#417394]http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nk....c0.m270.l1313[/COLOR][/URL] [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-5-IDE-HDD-Hard-Drive-USB-External-Caddy-Enclosure-Case-Xbox-Laptop-DVR-/330648362390?pt=UK_Collectables_HardDriveEnclosures_RL&hash=item4cfc2d9d96"][COLOR=#417394]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-5-IDE-HD...item4cfc2d9d96[/COLOR][/URL] [URL="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-5-3-5-SATA-IDE-USB-Enclosure-Hard-Drive-Case-External-HDD-Caddy-Slim-Cover-/180871310268?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&var=&hash=item6fc96c1252"][COLOR=#417394]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-5-3-5-SA...item6fc96c1252[/COLOR][/URL] [/QUOTE]
