Can I take an old PC (Windows XP) internal hard-drive and make an external drive and put the files on a Mac? The Mac is about 4 years old, so not sure which OS it is.
@Madsoftair well first look on your HD for either the phrase "SATA" "IDA" or "ATA" (to identify the connector type) then measure about how wide the connectors are (it'll either be 2.5" or 3.5") next use that info to search Amazon for it. If all else fails I know for a fact they have connectors for it that will do the trick regardless of size/type for only about $7 but there's no case/enclosure
Like the video, I'm in the process of scrapping my old computer and was wanting to learn how to turn internal hdd to externals. I got the same logitech speakers too :)
@SalvadorZXA dood, you just want an enclosure, search it up on newegg (DOT) com, you should be able to find some. you don't even need that, you could just use an IDE or SATA to USB converter. I just ordered one from newegg for $10
Can i get files from that hard drive.
