Hey /diy/, since you guys never failed me I will ask your help once again. So I have this old desktop computer that I have no monitor to it and that doesn't work with my lcd tv, what's the best way to recover the photos and music in its hard disk? Is buying one IDE-usb adapter the easiest way? Thanks a lot.

i bought one of these for recovering old shit from a long forgotten hard drive
had reservations but it was pretty solid.
took an image then worked from that.

It used to but somehow it doesn't anymore. My desktop was in storage for like 4 years and I took it apart before retiring it, maybe I fucked up.
Last week I was talking with some buddies about a camping trip we had like 12 ago and I remembered I had all the photos in pc's hard drive, hence why I'm trying to figure out some way, otherwise I would have sent it to the junk already.

>took an image then worked from that

In layman's, he copied the whole drive and then took the pictures he wanted from the copy.

Either stick the hard drive into another PC, or buy one of those SATA to USB connector things and plug it into one. Navigate to the windows folder then to users and so on.
