BobL Tech: Dead PC? XP Professional (25) RE: Tech: Dead PC? XP Professional 17 Apr 18


Ten years ago, hard drives used the SATA interface which is still current. So one possibility, something I did when one of my own XP systems died, is to extract the hard drive, and install it in another computer - not necessarily running XP - as a secondary drive. The bootable bits won't be used but with any luck the data will still be accessible.
