IDE

I just got a new computer, and I kept my old hard drive. Turns out there's nowhere to plug an IDE drive in on the new one. I have about 15gb of music, and about 100gb of video. How can I get this back? I'm fine with not being able to use the drive, I just need the stuff on it.

    Buy and IDE > USB external hard drive enclosure.  Install Hard drive in enclosure. Plug  into PC's USB port.

    There are also IDE to USB adapters without enclosure. Just have to be a bit more careful when using them. Around $15 should get you one.
