Probably get a better response from AEtherspoon @ https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/2000403-pc-hardware-discussion

But at least from what I can tell, in theory it should work. Double check it's a SATA HDD, and I think those USB to SATA cables (make sure it has power too) should do the trick. Obviously if you've used some kindof device encryption or Bitlocker type solution you'd need to get through that too.

Long as it's not fucked in some way, it shouldn't be a problem.

As long as the drive isn't encrypted you should be able to get to the files, at worst you'll just have to change permissions.

Ill probably absolutely be wiping the AIM and MSN chat logs if they're still on it. I dont need to re-live my high school cringe.

If it's not encrypted or doesn't have mechanical problems you'll be able to get your data.

Awesome. Appreciate the advice. I didnt want to buy the cord if it wouldnt work so that's reassuring.
