When your computer crashes, it cannot boot again. And you like to recover your important data from the disk. On this condition, you have to unplug the disk from the computer, and then connect it to another computer. The easiest way to connect your disk to another PC is using a USB - IDE/ATAPI Adapter.
We have all been there, you have spent hours working on an essay, the internet whether you have
o2 broadband or btconnect has helped you do all your research and suddenly your computer crashes. You feel like despairing and unfortunately there is very little you can do to prevent this happening. It is however really reassuring to know how to connect your disk to another PC.
And also, you could connect the disk to another PC via IDE/SATA cable directly.
