Hard Drives

[charlieharper]

I have an 80GB hard drive, but I unfortunately cant open my pc to put it in, as It will void my Warranty.
Is there something I can buy to be able to access my drive via a wire eg USB?

Thanks

As Borrels says above, buy an external drive case and put your HDD in. Connection is via USB or External SATA, if your machine and the external drive case support it.

Shame man, I feel for you! Can't even open your own PC? Strongs!

External casings are fairly inexpensive and you have different options to connect, obviously depending on your system inputs - USB 2.0, Firewire400, Firewire800, SATA or e-SATA are the common ones these days.

I got a couple recently from Bid or Buy for about R100 or so new, to use with my 3 older IDE 250GB HDD's and they work great...
