Hello everyone I hope all is well....and i hope that someone can help me with the little dilema i am having

I recently dropped my powerbook 15” in the floor and dented the outer casing very badly as a result I couldn’t open it. Luckily I had insurance who picked up my powerbook to repair it.

Thing is, I didn’t back up my data before it went to them (stupid I know), and the came back to me saying that they couldn’t repair the lappy and they would send me a replacement…good thing is…im going to get the new macbook pro!!!...dont you just love insurance companies?

Now, I asked for the hardisk in my powerbook to be sent to me as I need my itunes, every single cd that has ever passed through my hands, including my treasured Diana Ross collection is on the hardisk and I want to be able to load it all up on my new macbook.

Now the macbook hasn’t arrived yet and delivery is planned around mid march, but I have received my hardisk and I bought a caddy in an attempt to attach it to my work laptop that runs windows, so my main question is can I view my powerbook harddisk via the caddy from my xp lappy???, I know they use different file systems and types but is there a driver or a program that runs on windows to access it??

Any help is appreciated.
 
Hi

Lucky you, getting the new Intel Mac! :)
Sorry I can't help with your problem now, but in future (if you're not one for backing up - NAUGHTY NAUGHTY), use iDisk....
I use it quite a bit with my PDA. It's great, you'll never lose anything ever again. Especially email, photos, music,etc....
Good Luck, Hope you get it all back

thanks people...i managed to get it all back!!!...thanks to Transmac....

Nadia can idisk hold like 80gigs worth of data??, i thought it was an online storage facility?
 
Hi

So glad you got it all back :)
Well, I don't know if I'm a huge fan of iDisk anymore.....I used it today and synced my mac.....next thing I knew, my entire hard drive was online! aarrgghh, I get very paranoid about that sort of thing!

Anyway, yes it holds a lot.
I used a password, but it only gave me the option of password protect for read and write or read only! Not store hidden!
Don't know, got to look into it a bit more.

I have a PDA that I use, they're the best! Recommended! Definitely, this time.. lol

GOOD LUCK
Nadia
