| 461941 | 2006-06-09 12:50:00 | I have a hard disk which has winxp[NTFS] on it, i want to retrive some documents from it. so i thought i could connect it to my computer by connecting the "exernal hard disk clip" to the hard disk and connect via usb. I was thinking whether the ntfs restrictions still lasts? |

Install the HDD in the same way as the first one's installed. Plug in your your data (ribbon) cable making sure that the number 1 pin matches on cable connector and HDD socket. There should be a spare cable with 2 connectors. Plug in power connection. Close case. Details and pictures here: www.pcstats.com Otherwise get one of these: www.pbtech.co.nz I have one, it's excellent. 5 minutes to install the drive and plug it into USB or firewire. |

BUT, there are programs around that will do the trick . BUT, you can have a network with hdd's formatted in FAT/FAT32/NTFS/ whatever . And share folders etc . It doesnt matter . Anything will read NTFS, (on a network), if its on another computer . Most people think this isnt possible . Well, it is . And always has been . Just as long as the computer you have has Windows 2000/XP, or higher, it doesn't matter if the hdd is internal or external, and you've formatted it in NTFS, it should work / Windows will see whats on it . |
