Attaching 2nd Drive

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
hello. i have an inspiron 8600 laptop that had a drive with bad sectors (blue screen on boot with "unmountable boot device" error). dell sent me a new drive (very quickly btw) which i haev installed. i know want to try and attach the old drive as a "2nd" drive to see if i can pick off some of the data.

unfortunately, i do not know how/where i can do that. i am guessing i need some expansion device? or, is there a better way someone can suggest getting this done?

thank you.

you need an external 2.5in usb enclosure. Just stick the old drive in there and go
