I have this hard drive with data on it, but it doesn't have an OS. It used to be a secondary hard drive to a computer that I once had, but now that I have a different computer, I want to retrieve data from that hard drive.

The problem is that the computer I have allows only one hard drive in it and the hard drive I want to retrieve data from doesn't have an OS...

How could I retrieve data from the hard drive manually? I don't want to go to any service... I just want to do it by myself... any way how I could do that?

Use an external hard drive enclosure and plug it in via USB.

I'm waiting until I get some money and then I'll be able to do that. Hope it works :P
