Re: Checklist for Reformatting

Hi all

If you do choose to go the enclosure route, be certain you know what 
type of hard drive it actually is. I recently did just what is described 
here by installing a fresh 120 gig drive to replace an older 60 gig. 
Ordered an enclosure for a 3.5 in drive off the web. Failed to work. 
Turned out my drive was SATA and the enclosure was for IDE, so the 
connectors were different.

Nice though to carry all my old data around!

Cheers... Rick :)
