I have a mac book pro and the video card is shot. I have purchased a new one, but need some of the data off of the old one. When I start the old one, I can hear it starting, opening up my email, etc. So it appears that the hard drive is fine.
Is there a way to get the data off of the old mac to the new one (or some other drive). Since I cannot see anything on the screen from the old one, I haven't been able to connect them successfully via firewire. I was wondering if there was a way to remove the hard drive and somehow cable it up to my new mac book. There is a way to do this for windows based notebooks (which I have done). But I am not sure what type of hardware I would need in order to do this on my mac.
I am pretty Nerdy, so I am sure I can handle doing the transfer, once I have the right tools in place.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
