So I got the docking thing. Plugged it in the computer, connected usb and power plonked in the old hard drive, turned it on and VOILA, opened up the drive as "ocal disc H" and all old files on this drive can be accessed !!! Works a treat ! On the box it says that it works with usb 2.0 and 3.0 sata connections and reads 2.5" and 3.5" ide hard disc drives. Also contains a card reader. Happy as and that for a low price (ebay)
