    Hard drive from Crashed Laptop Question

    I ordered the Multi Drive Cable from New Egg. I connect the Old drive to the cable it lights right up I can see everything on the Drive. I know the Name of the old computer and I know the Password to the Admin...... Problem is It wont let me copy the Admin user files off on to another drive or disk? Anyone know what steps I have to take or a Program I have to use to recover the mailing lists and Invoices I have on this unit? I am at a loss here...... I know the password! It just never asks for it or anything......

    GRRRR I am not helpless but this is making me feel as I am!

      You must have a sad, sad boring life if you hate on people harmlessly enjoying life with an animal costume.

      Sometimes you need to break shit to fix it.... Thats why my lawnmower doesn't have a deadman switch or engine brake anymore

          Also, you may have to take ownership of the files on the computer you are using to recover them.

                  Yep - load up a Ubuntu live CD and rip the files straight off. Quicker than taking permissions in my experience.

                          Ubuntu is a distribution (distro) of Linux. It's the most popular, but just about any Linux distro would work fine. I often use OpenSUSE for this kind of thing.

                          As I said earlier, you could change the ownership settings from within Windows, but you will not be able to copy them straight off, as someone must have put some strict security settings on those files.

                                  **Need Help Unlocking BIOS and Hard Drive on Dell Precision 5820 Tower**
                                  by federalhouse
                                  Hi everyone,

                                  I'm in need of assistance with a Dell Precision 5820 Tower. The BIOS is locked with "Dell Security Manager," preventing access to the HDD-1 hard drive.


                                  **Background:**

                                  I recently purchased this Dell Precision 5820 Tower from a recycler who salvages equipment from abandoned office spaces. The computer was left behind by its previous owner and was password locked. Given that it can run Windows 11, I saw this as an opportunity to upgrade my setup.


                                  **What I've Tried So Far:**


                                  1. I accessed                                  ...

                                  PC case - Hard drive rails
                                  by tmcw
                                  A friend gave me his old PC case (with MB, and PSU), but no hard drive rails, he said he only used the 2.5" SSD spot inside, and used an external hard drive for data. He said that he'd have a look for the supplied rails, but I doubt he'll find them.

                                  So I was wondering if case manufacturers used any type of standard 3.5" hard drive rail?

                                  I'm used to the various Dell hard drive caddies or rails (and HP and Lenovo to a lesser extent), or el cheapo cases where you screw through the frame to fix the drive.

                                  Now, the case is a CiT Gaming Case, and...

                                  i recently bought a new wd re4 2tb with 2014 datecodes. when i got around to testing it tho in victoria hd tester, the write speed was very slow at 14 mb/s with a 256 sector transfer size. when i increased the transfer size to 1024 sectors, the write speed increased slightly to 44 mb/s. read speeds and sector verify speeds were fine and at normal speeds.

                                  so i just ass-u-med the drive's poor performance was due to it being an advanced format drive and i was using it on winxp. when i tried cloning my system disk to this wd re4 2tb drive and writing to it in linux, the write speed...
