Connect HDD from DVD player to PC externally
Hi,
My DVD/HDD recorder has packed up today (the motor that ejects and plays the disc), and it would cost more to repair it than to buy a new one.
But I have important TV programs about my work; autism, on the hard disc, that I never got to transfer to DVDs.
And I know there's nothing wrong with the hard drive.
I had to "operate" to remove a disc, and noticed the hard disc looked exactly like a normal internal PC hard drive. It's a Western Digital 160gb one, and I seem to remember you can buy external casings for these, and use them as external hard drives.
Is that true?
And if so, what is the correct terminology please, so I can find out what to buy to get it to connect to my PC.
I'd rather not fit it internally, although I have fitted an additional 1tb one, so it can be done.
Anyone know the best way to attach it externally please?
thanks
