How do I get data off a hard drive??
The MB in my desktop computer fried the other day, so I'm now using my wife's notebook computer.
If I had another desktop computer, I could easily plug the HD into the spare bay, but cannot do that with a notebook.
Question is: How do I get the data off the HD onto the notebook? Do they make some type of interface that goes from the HD ribbon cable to a USB so I could plug it into the notebook?
Thank you

yes, they have USB to SATA
or you may have an older interface like IDE.
