Need someone who can help me get data from an old IDE drive onto a USB or other media so I can put it on my HP.

 

Old drive died a few years back, has Windows98 on it if I remember correctly. 

 

Thanks!

Provost,

 

Have ordered a converter today.  Not oneof the ones you suggested,but another that does the same thing.  

 

Thank you for the guide to  getting this started.

 

Now if I could only find my old Windows install disk for it, I could get that Compaq back running as a stand alone machine.

 

Have a great day!
