time_bomb Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 ive removed the memory from my old broken laptop and put it into another, there are no old files showing up though, were they deleted when i put it in the new laptop and is there a way to retrieve them?

Captain Planet Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Memory or HDD (Hard Disk Drive)? If it's memory as in those rectangular modules that isnt where data is stored that's RAM which the computer uses for running programs. If it's a HDD, which I doubt because moving laptop Hard Drives is not straightforward, then maybe you accidently reformatted it when installing it onto you new lappy?

Zizouz Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 probably is RAM, there's no real reason to use the HDD of an old laptop (unless externally) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dubby Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 memory = thin sticks/cards - you'll probably have more than 1 in there - you don't need this HDD = about 2 centimetres thick - you probably won't be able to plug more than one in a laptop its called a 2.5" hard disk drive find out whether its SATA or IDE and then get a USB connector for it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
