How can I extract data from an iMac desktop internal hard drive onto my windows PC?
I have an internal hard drive from an old iMac desktop (2008?) that id like to get the data from. I also have a SATA reader but when I plug it into my windows toshiba laptop - nothing happens. Can it be because I need special software when windows is trying to read a mac? If yes, shouldn't the actual hard drive still start to whirl up and I should be able to hear the hard drive humming (even though the computer wouldn't be able to read the data without the correct software - so does this mean that the hard drive is dead? Help please !
