Thanks for your advice again. Are you saying if I use an adaptor I need to take the drive out and put it into my other PC?

Thanks for your reply. If I just buy the adaptor I assume I remove the cover of the PC and plug it into the hard drive where it sits. John

I had an old PC, Packard Bell running Windows 98 I think. I plugged it in one day a few years ago and it went pop, which I assume was the power supply blowing. I want to try and recover the data from hard drive myself. Someone told me I might be able to remove the hard drive, put it in a case and connect it to my new PC via USB and hopefuly be able to read from the disc. Does this sound possible and can I buy a piece of kit to do this? J
