Moving to the US was a big pain for me in one particular regard… the frequency and voltage of US electricity was not what my computer needed.
I then lived without my computer and in particular my hard drive for 8 months but earlier this week a colleague suggested that you can get an IDE to USB connector for your old harddrive. I searched for this on eBay and found the item I wanted.
It is up and running and quietly humming away on my desk… I now have my university music collection (2000 songs) and all my university photos again which has made me a very happy boy this evening! So if you move countries and find your computer isn’t working, don’t fear, you can always recover the harddrive content using a IDE to USB 2.0 external harddrive connection.
