Can it be done?
Reason I ask is because my old laptop just died and had some important data on it including some family photos that were not backed up (I know silly me!).
I've had a quick google and it seems I can possibly use a 2.5in IDE Hard drive enclosure and attach that via USB to my current laptop and be able to use it as an external drive?
Has anyone had any experience with these? Is it likely to be that simple or will there be issues with me accessing the data on the hard drive? Any pitfalls I need to be careful of when doing this?
Thanks in advance for any info!
