Hi,
I know the HDD is OK, it's just a matter of getting it hooked up to my
desktop computer. Are there any USATA (i don't think that's really
anything; it's just what is printed on the top of the drive) to
standard SATA convertor cables so I can just plug the drive in as a
slave and pull the data across...
Sorry, a little confused and confusing atm ;)
