You can go a couple ways.. The way I recommend is to purchase a USB hard drive enclosure, that way there's no opening of your new computers case. If this idea doesn't work, depending on your new computers configuration you could install the new drive into your computer making sure if you have a master to move the jumper on the disk drive to slave. I hope this helps... good luck!

Hi all- Well my six year old Gateway bit the dust. The mother-board went and maybe the power supply as well. So I have a new Dell on the way. My deal with the old Gateway is, I need to retrieve my hard-drive (I didn't have it backed up, I know, I know.... bad Tim.) I did order an external hard-drive so everything will be backed up on the new one!!!! So all you fellow puter geeks- do I need to plug my old hard-drive into a slave drive... r' or what?
