    My vaio t350p mother board just died and I would like to extract the data from my 60GB Ultra ATA drive. What's the easiest way to extract it and interface it to another computer? I can remove the drive no probs....but what then?

    I have a desktop with IDE. Also, an old sharp notebook MM10 with 15GB ATA which could allow a drive swap if compatible.

    You can get adaptors such as those listed here which will let you connect the HDD to a desktop (it's probably this).Or, if it is a standard 2.5" IDE HDD then you can get a USB enclosure.
