Faisal Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 http://sourceforge.n...10.iso/download Burn ISO to CD disc, change Boot settings to let CD/DVD drive boot from first, or if you have a Dell just press F12. Use an ext. HDD or an USB Drive to move your sh*t out. Iono about connecting your Macbook to a PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Supreme Allah Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 get an external hard drive enclosure, take out the drive from your PC and put it in there. theres loads of different types, USB, Firewire eSata just depends on the connection you have they were about £15 last time i checked i think. make sure you get the right one. normal internal PC drive is 3.5" laptop drive is 2.5" best solution i can think of thats doesnt require major work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Coquelin Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 if by dead you mean your os won't boot - buy another hdd, install an os and use that to boot use the old hdd as the slave/secondary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Supreme Allah Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 easiest thing i can think is buy the enclosure and make it an external drive no idea Macs use a different disk format, but im sure if its NTFS i think Mac OS can read that, bt dont quote me on it edit found this http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imhim Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 i need to do the same thing for my old laptop... i wanna grab all the info from that or basically move it to an external hard drive... so i can access it on my mac whenever i want to... and also... how do u re-format/wipe a laptop if it didnt come with a re-format disk...

Guest Supreme Allah Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 to format a drive you just right click it then select format or use a hard disk manager like this http://www.paragon-software.com/home/hdm-personal/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imhim Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 does anyone know of a external hard drive that can be read on a windows OS and a mac OS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Supreme Allah Posted March 19, 2011 Report Share Posted March 19, 2011 not a mac user so i dont know much, but from what i know theres only one format that can work on both is FAT32, which has a disk size limit of 2TB and a file limit of 4GB id say format it as NTFS (it prob will be already if its windows) then use that paragons program i posted, no idea on the performance of it, but it should be alright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
