I say mean things to morning people too. >_>; Asura.Dominate said: » My sister told me I had so much energy it was disgusting. So what if I was singing and dancing at 10 this morning! I have things to be happy about, gawd. :< How is that disgusting? On my days off, even when my son is gone to his mom's, my body is telling me, "Wake up!" by 8, even if I stay up late. Usually it happens when the sky starts to get light outside, which is a bit after 6AM this time of year.

XD But lately, I've just been happy. ;x

What would be the easiest/cheapest method of getting the stuff off my wife's HDD from her dead computer?
The drive itself is fine, but it's a slimline PC and the PSU went out, it's kinda outdated anyways so she's getting a new one.. I know there are a few different ways I could go about getting the stuff off, just what is the easiest and cheapest to do?

Hmm... Could at least try Error Checking it? Open up "Computer" > Right click the HDD > Properties > Tools tab > Error Checking button. Rarely works but you never know. Did you go ahead and install all the updates available and check your drivers for your HDD and all that stuff? I get errors trying to download updates for windows. I've tried doing that before, I couldn't ever get it to work, something about the drive being in a 'strange computer' it wouldn't boot or nothing. I'm too lazy to go through a bunch of ***, which is why I said easiest.

I'm too lazy to go through a bunch of ***, which is why I said easiest. You don't have to boot it from yours, plug it into a slot and treat it as a storage drive. You can either transfer the files to your PC, or wait till she gets a new one then open file sharing and send all her files to the new one.

Even if it's slimline, if you have a dual-IDE cable (assuming it's IDE and not SATA):
 You can just hook them both up. But being slimline, that would mean having to extend the cable outside of the case and building a case around her old HDD. (Basically, turning the internal HDD into a makeshift external one). Or, just find an old full-size case and transfer everything into that. (Probably the easier way, unless you LOVE that slimline case.) EDIT: Or what Dread said. He always beats me to these things!

Did you update Java and all that already? Valefor.Slipispsycho said: » It is SATA I'd just go with Dread's idea. As long as your PC or her new one has space for a second HDD, it shouldn't be an issue to hook it up and use it as a slave drive for storage. I really need to get up to date with hardware stuff. My old PC was from 2001, so my mind still revolves around "IDE ALL the things!" Still no [+]ing after downloading Java :<
I have pizza so I don't feel TOO bad, but man, did not think a simple Windows reinstall a week ago would turn into all these problems. ; ; Valefor.Slipispsycho said: » It is SATA Talk with a local PC supply shop, see if you can't find a SATA to USB or something. You'll still need a power source though... I'd suggest using an old PSU of a different computer, not the one you're on now if you can. I bought a sata/ide combo to usb awhile back, think it ran me maybe $15... Shouldn't be too expensive. And you probably couldn't slave it straight up, you have to tinker with something to slave most hdd, but I don't recall off the top of my head what you have to change is called. Should be on the hdd somewhere though, like a sticker. Alexander.Drokin said: » You happy people and your reasons to be happy. :| (Okay, so I'm pretty happy too since the kiddo is around, but still!) ((And okay, maybe I'm just playing about being unhappy about people being happy.)) Damn you, happy people. I used to use a PC with two HDs hooked up, but that was IDE too. Would boot off the main one and was still able to store stuff on the 2nd drive.
