The point is, you need to pay for this, either
with your money or with your time. Money-consuming
suggestions you saw already. Now time consuming:
Collect all of your stuff and come to my house. We
will hook your drive up to the computer which will
understand it, will copy its content away and then
you will be free to play with your hardware as you
see fit.
Resources needed:
Money: $0.
Time: lots.
