My desktop died, and as I posted awhile back I have been feeling like my laptop is on it’s last legs…I said fuck it, went and bought a Macbook…best look ever for me. anyways, I got most of my DJing shit off my old laptop so it hasn’t hurt my work-week, but my archives are lacking big time since my 250GB hard drive is SATA and I have no way of getting to the data since I don’t have a desktop that works anymore. It’s got a good 200GB of music on it, lots of hiphop 12" rips, mixes, etc. that I don’t really NEED but like to have (a lot of them were accumulated back in the day when 320kbps MP3s weren’t really common so I don’t use them when I play out). Anyone able to help me get access to the files? You can pick through them if you want in exchange for helping me…let me know. ---

throw the drive into a desktop computer, then transfer whatever you need over a local ethernet network. ---
