Ok so about 9 months ago my old computer crashed, it was some custom built one with a samsung SP1213N internal hdd.
I never really new what the problem was, I am not that tech savvy but it was christmas time so I just got a good deal on a new laptop.
Now recently it has come to my attention that i can retrieve files from this dead computer’s hard drive , using a cable that would turn it into a external hard drive that I could just plug in to my laptop’s usb.
Would a USB 2.0 to IDE ATA External Hard Disk CD-ROM DVD Drive Adapter Converter Cable work for a samsung SP1213N?
Please I really need help because I had allot of important pictures on that computer like family stuff and some writing.
I just bought a IBM 560e thinkpad. It doesn’t have a USB port or cd-rom. If i buy a USB SATA IED, would i be able to hook up my cd-rom and hard drive to my laptop. With the USB outlet, would i be able to hook up my devices that have USB to this USB port.

I am a little confused how this all works. I have been looking at some 2.5 and 3.5 external closures to make my own portable hard drive, but I don’t know what I am doing. To connect to both my desktop pc and laptop, will I need a power adapter to go with the external closure? Say I bought a laptop(2.5) hard drive, along with an external closure. Will that hard drive connect to my desktop and laptop without a power source? Or just one? or neither?

Not to long ago, I was using my laptop when all the sudden, it wouldn’t boot up completely. I think its the hard drive, in fact I am almost certain its the hard drive. My question is, what are some of the steps I need to take in order to successfully swap my hard drive? When I turn the computer on it displays the following message…
For Realteck TRL8100E/8101E Fast Ethernet Network Adapter v1.02 (060510)
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM.
… then it keeps repeating the same message. the reason why I think its the hard drive is because when the hard drive is in the computer it makes a repetitive noise, almost as if it wants to start up. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I just took at look at the Bios, and both with and without the hard drive installed it read "no hard drive." One problem down, now whats next? After getting a new hard drive, how do I go abouts to getting it running right? How do I install windows?

I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 Notebook (out of warranty) that fell from 2-3 ft. onto a hard ceramic floor. Before the fall, it was powered on and working fine, but in the closed position. When I picked it up and opened it, the screen was black and the power lights were off. I did not see any noticeable breakage on the computer. I pushed the power button to turn it back on but nothing happened, no lights, no sounds, nothing.
I tried resetting my computer by holding in the power button for 30 seconds, removing the battery, holding the power button again, attaching the ac adapter without battery, etc. No luck.
I’m sure the problem is not my power source, as I just got a new battery charger/adapter which is working fine, and my battery was fully charged. I also know the problem is not with the hard drive, as I have since removed the laptop’s hard drive and used a hard drive enclosure to connect it to my desktop computer to retrieve my files. All files were intact.
I am pretty good with a screwdriver and I have the service manual for my Dell Inspiron 6000. I like to try to fix things myself before taking to a repair shop. I have some electronics knowledge and know the safety precautions to take. All I need is someone to tell me what to look for that I haven’t tried already.
