My powerbook's logic board is fried. Repair cost estimated at CDN$900 or so. Clearly not worth it. So, there is nothing wrong with the internal drive. I presume I can stick this in a USB enclosure. <br> <br> 1) What kind of enclosure do I need? <br> <br> 2) Will I be able to access the info on the drive from a PC or only another Mac?<br> <br> (i didn't have any encrypted data though i did have a password for my user logon)<br> <br> Thanks! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.57767 Tue, 27 Feb 2007 07:22:31 -0800 computerfailure harddrive mac powerbook modernnomad
