As some may recall, I suffered a hardware failure of a 10 yr old IBM Netvista back in January. I was backing up my personal data, 'My Documents', to my CentOS server but I apparently didn't get my emails.
It was a main board failure and I believe the data is still good on the hard drive. Only problem, its an IDE drive and my server and new PC have SATA drives.
Is it possible to install the old drive as a secondary drive into a newer PC with SATA drives? If so, how do I do this? I need to access the emails.
This was a Windows XP machine using Outlook as the mail client.
you would need an IDE controller to do that. I have one that is external and connects via USB, also came with a drive power supply...
something like this, https://www.amazon.com/Vantec-CB-ISATAU2-Supports-2-5-Inch-5-25-Inch/dp/B000... (works with SATA, 3.5 and 2.5" IDE, and has power supply connectors for both SATA and IDE style power)
