oh I do like to be beside the seaside
My son has managed (again) to screw up his PC with crud.
I've got a old PC that I've given him but want to try and get some music off his old PC.

The "new" PC doesn't have space to mount it, is it possible to unplug the CD drive and use the connections to temp plug in the old drive to get the some music files off it.

Could I just rest the old drive on the PC while I get the PC or even secure it with bluetack as a temp fix?!!!
I know I'm being tight by not buying a caddy, but this is the second time he's screwed his PC in 6 months :mad:
 
Cheers for all your help, I've got it running like that now.

He said he installed a program that would let him watch films that are currently at the cinema for free :rolleyes:

I fear for the future world :p
