Getting Data off and Old Hard Drive
Hey guys.
Last month my old laptop died suddenly. No HD failures though. It was a Macbook from 2008.
I now have a new laptop but I want to get the data from my old one onto it. I was told about getting some sort of adaptor/reader which you can plug the HD into after taking it out of the old machine.
Anyone know specifically which one to get?
Cheers.

you need a Sata Cable but the type depends on what hard drive you have

Sweet. This was as much as I'd gathered, but I thought I would need to get the right type.
It is a 160GB Serial ATA 5400 rpm Hard Drive.
Any ideas?

Re: Getting Data off and Old Hard Drive
that should work, btw most new laptops have two harddrive trays, you might be able to install that into your laptop.
