Have just suffered a PC failure - power supply let the smoke out - but its hard drives are OK.
I have four files on one of the hard drives that have been altered since the last back up the evening before that i would really like to access and rescue.
Can I add the hard drive to my homeserver in a spare bay and then read the files off that hard drive as its the only way i can power the drive up [i am reading and writing this on my laptop].
Rather than risk the data i want to save i have just plugged an external USB hard drive in that has nothing of consequence on it to see if I can view it but it doesnt appear to have been added to the shared folders or be accessible from the network storage
window. It did ask me if i wanted to preserve any files on the disk. I said i did but i dont see a way to view them now
Thanks in anticipation
Paul
