Wheres the best place to get a IDE to USB?
I've got my friends tower here and its an IDE connector for the hard drive. all my computers use sata now. I want to backup the files before i do a reformat.
Scan, eBuyer, Misco, Maplin, Paul?
If you want one straight away, I'd probably go to a local computer shop. :)
Did the disc arrive Paul?
Just ordered one from Ebuyer, will arrive tomorrow (i hope)

Yeah Glenn, It came through the door yesterday. Was meant to PM you and say thanks, just haven't had the time.
I put the HDD from the pc into the USB enclosure but it wont let me see the files on the disc, must be doing something wrong but cant think. ???
I take it the system can see the disk as such?
yeh, comes up as local disk (j)
but says its only 32gb when its 250gb
plus it sees a hidden AVG folder and it hangs my pc while reading the HD
Maybe the disk MBR is damaged?
