So a little over a month ago my laptop decided that it had had enough of my pushing it to the max every day and it decided to take a long rest. Unfortunately for me I had not backed up all of my data recently and well you know what that means. So I had to order a piece to at the very least copy my files from the laptop hard drive to my desktop, well actually to my other laptop. So after learning a little bit more about the details of laptop hard drives. Since I usually deal with desktop computers I don’t spend too much time with the new laptop components. So I found a handy little device that you connect your 2.5″ hdd from your laptop to and it magically transforms it into an external usb hard drive which windows 2000 or later will easily recognize as a mass storage device and install the drivers. You can also use the adapter to connect your laptop hard drive to your desktop computer (laptop to ide adapter) or connect sata laptop hard drives to transform them into the usb mass storage external hard drives. And now I am ready to retrieve the data from any and all laptop hard drives that have been sitting on the shelf and collecting dust, taunting me with lost files, missing pictures, and music i forgot that I liked. Well I am off to turn some hdd laptop hard drives into ide drives or to usb drives.

I am a computer technician & programmer. I love computers. I read as much as I can and try to learn as many new languages and tech tips that I can. Recently my main focus has been on web applications, web page design and search engine optimization (seo). I have had a bit of success over the past few years running a couple website and optimizing business web sites for goolge. I have enjoyed playing with the search engines and if your in the biz, I enjoy the white hat route as I like to play by "the rules". In my personal life, I enjoy a great many activities and have a myriad of hobbies. I have incorporated my zeal for computers and technology into many of my favorites activities. One example of such is horse racing; I print my own racing forms and create my own par numbers, pace numbers, and some numbers you've never hear of before! And instead of sitting at the smelly racetrack, with the ease of the internet I can watch my favorite tracks from the comfort of my living room via live video feed! More later.... View more posts
