1.	Solve : Hooking up a hard drive to a laptop?
Answer» The power supply went out in my PC. Instead of buying a new power supply, I would like to remove the hard drive from my PC and hook it up to my lap top to retrieve the data. Is it possible to do this? How do I go about doing it?It is called a USB HDD adapter and power supply. You GET them on EBAY for about $20, but you might want to pay a little more and get a nice one that has a boxs to mout the HDD. I use this cheap one to read a CD-burner that does not fit in my small box. ok, I purchased one but my computer WONT read the drive when I hooked it up I have a Sony Vaio and my OS is VISTA"won't read" - please explainMeaning that I plug in the hard drive and power and the computer does not detect the hard driveIn Windows Explorer? Is it present in Device Manager, and\or Disk Management?
