Re: Hard Drives.

To quote the ad, 'there is another way!'

What filesystem do you use under Windows? NTFS or FAT?

Definately if FAT you could just boot a LiveCD such as knoppix and use your USB/IDE adaptor. NTFS is slightly more risky, I would want to dump it onto an empty partition if possible just to be safe(or ghost the drive first. NTFS write support is out there but is not as advanced in development as FAT support.
