[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1274653, member: 56379"] If the data (files. photos, music) are important...I would suggest: 1. Find a friend that has a Mac (hopefully of similar vintage to your old G4 Mac)...and pop your HD into their Mac to recover the files. 2. Purchase a used G4 Mac similar to your previous G4 Mac (should be able to do this for $50-$75 or less). Make sure it is compatible with the OS that's installed on this HD. There may be some software solutions...but since I have lots of old Mac's laying around...I use suggestion #2. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
