Hi there,
I recently bought an iMac after my pc completely crashed. I have important documents on the old hard drives I want to get hold of.
Am I right in saying that I will be able to buy a SATA external caddy, and hook that up to my windows based Laptop to extract the files? Or do I need to format the drive first?
Secondly, after i have got all the files I want from the drive I intend to format it and use it as a Time Machine Drive. Question is, will the 200GB drive work for use on a 500GB iMac, bearing in mind I have only used 87Gb so far?
Cheers.
