[QUOTE="grfisgd, post: 2309638, member: 668857"] 1. My old laptop (windows 7 ultimate 32 bit; Gateway) malfunctioned however its a battery issue so the internal hard drive works flawlessly. 2. I got rid of my old laptop (Gateway) because its too slow and giving battery BS (2GBram, 160GB hdd, intel core 2 duo, 1.6ghz each) and bought a new laptop a Dell Inpiron 64 bit, 4GBram, 640GB hdd, i5 core 2.4ghz each.) 3. I still have valuable stuff on my old laptop's hdd that I want to recover. I bought an enclosure (Acomdata) and connected the cables to my Dell. On boot up nothing happened. 4. Went to bios, changed booting order (1 being USB) because the only way I tried was to connect the SATA hdd from my old laptop to Acomdata's enclosure through USB 2.0 cable. 5. Don't know what else to do.. I installed third party software but none helped. I wish I can multiboot it but it seems I am doing something wrong or the enclosure I am using is wrong. Thanks for any help.. if you have further questions email me. :) [/QUOTE]
