using internal hard drive on another machine
The sectors in the MBR in the primary partition are damaged on my internal drive on the inspiron 8600. Before I get a new drive and/or reinstall OS etc I want to retrieve as much data as I can off the drive. I've found a good third party tool (ACTIVE unerase) to do this.
All I have to do is somehow connect the damaged internal drive to another [working] computer as a data drive. How do i do this given it's an internal drive? Can I take it out of the original computer and
plug it into a 2nd modular bay of some other laptop for example...does the connector and/or the drive
fit and/or connect this way (ie, the same)? What computers could I do this with? I have several dell notebooks here in the office I could "borrow"
Thanks, Murray
