hard drive
bert and fun4now, the old computer was also 2000 professional as is the new one. The old one worked just fine until we had a real bad thunderstorm and lost power. When the power was restored all I would get on start up is a screen that said inaccesable boot device. I tried to start in safe mode and got the same screen, called a few computer repair guys and they all said it wasn't worth the time and money for them to troubleshoot and repair the system and that it would be more cost effective for me to purchase a new system and try to get an external hard drive chassis to hook up and retrieve files from old unit. If I can hook it up to the new computer with out buying anything else that would be great. Thanks for the info, I will have to see if I can do it with out frying the new system. Dave
