My brother has an old pentium 90mhz pc with an 1.2 gig west digital hard drive. recently his video went out (he does not have a card his video is built on his motherboard). He decided that he wanted to take his hard drive out of this older pc and add it as a slave to a newer pc that he purchased.The info that he has on his older hard drive is not replacable and is very important to him. He took it to the shop and the tech told him they could not retrive his data off his old hard drive because it is a non-dos formatted hard drive.
I find it hard to believe that a hard drive that is still in working condition is unusable. I've installed plenty of hard drives put I'm not a pro by any means, so i'm wondering if there's any logic to the tech's non-solution.And is there any service or program that can help my brother get back some very important info.
