old hard drive
 

psu kept blowing fuse (blue flash from psu :shocked: ) fitted a new psu on pc to check, didnt blow but just sits there with fan working and green light on but nothing else so i guess motherboard has blown.
so bought a new pc and need to slave old sata drive as 2nd hd (seagate 120g barracuda) on new machine to access data, my question is would i be risking blowing new pc if there is a possible fault on the said drive please?
(i also want to transfer m-audio sound card) thanks :)

You should be fine

cheers zingle that was quick!;)

Re: old hard drive
 

But if your that worried you could pickup one of these USB to IDE (or sata, depending on which your drive is) adaptors and plug it into that...

A possibly faulty hard drive isnt gonna blow up a pc or damage it for that matter

Re: old hard drive
 

I had to remove an HD from a pc with a blown motherboard a few years ago, I transferred it to another machine which is still working perfectly.

Its very Unlikely unless a High current flow melted something and its now short circuit on the power feed.

But like I said highly unlikely.

Re: old hard drive
 

Short Circuit/Over current protection should prevent that by tripping the PSU off.
