|  Old HDD's Didn't want to hijack anybody's thread with this. I just want to know the easiest way to check old hard drives of data on them, short of re-attaching them to a system. I have 4 or 5 sitting around, but I'm not sure how I can go about hooking them up to see what's still on them. Thanks for any help, Redleg   |

| Re: Old HDD's Short of actually connecting them to another system I don't know of any way to actually "See" what data may be on them. Ron  |

| Re: Old HDD's I don't know of any ways to check data on a hard drive without attaching it. One of those USB to IDE/SATA adapters might make the job a lot easier though. Opteron 64 165--1.5GB DDR--ECS KA1 MVP(thanks HL!)--x1800GTO 256MB--Seagate 320GB SATA--Antec 550 Watt--Antec P180 |

| I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.  | Re: Old HDD's If not hooking it up to a PC, you're going to need help from these folks...  |

| Re: Old HDD's yeah, leave it to Paul to leave an "off the wall" solution.  Think I'll try JJ's solution first, before going Paul's route.  Thanks for the help guys. |
