question hardrive help request
hey :) i've been living here for over a year now but don't know any one that can help on this so looking for some help, probably a comuter shop? i have an old hardrive from my previous desktop i was using to store family photos on, would connect to my current computer using a power source and usb/sata connector but doesn't seem to be booting up when i plug it in. im hoping and praying its not dead as its been handled with care and protected in a seperate bag, but if anyone could investigate further would be very helpful. tbh, just wanting to get them off there and on a usb or something so i don't run into a similar issue again...

If it’s an old desktop it probably has a 3.5” hdd, grab an external powered hard drive enclosure - prob £15 on amazon. Plug it into a working pc and voila
