    Just bought a 200gb pocket size ext drive. Having a bit of bother uploading and deleting data. Do I need to switch from main drive or summat? How do I do that, I'm on a mac?

    Further Teccy help please. Internal harddrives....

    ...how hard is it to recover data from the internal hard drive on a bolloxed PC? It seems the processor and motherboard - can I get the hard drive out and wire it up to sommert or other to recover some data?

    The hard drive comes out easy, take it to maplin and ask for a case for that specific drive. Easily pop it in the case and connect to another computer via USB. Cases are around £14.99 in shops but if you know which ya need then ebays the place. You also then av an external hard drive for your new comp

    That's a shame, as I am about to flog one of my 250gb external hard drives that currently has around 55,000 songs on it, as soon as I have transferred the songs to a bigger hard drive. 3 or 4 of the songs are by you actually.
