My HP has died, mother board I think. I want to recover data from the hard drive (HD) on the old PC and transfer my data to a new PC. With my old PC dead, how can I move the information from the old PC to the new PC? Is there a way to use the pwr supply and the HD alone from the old unit and cable up to the new unit? Or even to a memory media stick?
Esta é uma boa pergunta?

No but you can take the drive out and put it into an external case. Once you recover your data you can reformat the drive and use it as backup storage.
If this answer is acceptable please remember to return and mark it.

Thank you, but I need more information! Is there a guide or some details about how to go about putting the drive in another case? How about how to hook the old drive to the new computer? I am a competent builder, but I need some direction on the details.
Thanks for a good answer!
Yes you get that when you buy the case. The case will come with a cable OR tell you what cable (most likely a USB) you need to buy. You can also ask the people at the store that sell you the case. If you can unplug a lamp you can swap a drive (it's no more complicated that that)… However you should have and read or go to your computer support pages and download a user manual for swapping/adding/ a drive - that will tell you what tools you need (probably a screw driver) and how to open the case (many have hidden latches.
