[QUOTE="plat, post: 807505, member: 74969"] Oh, so your computer went on the fritz! Wow, OK. Well, if there's no room to plug your old HDD into your new PC, yeah, an enclosure would be great. I have a cheap but competent Vantec NexStar enclosure but then again, it's used very little. If it's plugged in, the contents are easily accessible, in this case, it's a Macrium image. So, yes your new machine should simply be able to read it and the contents be accessible just like it was an internal drive. Hopefully, you can just drag and drop without a middleman app--if you're running as an Administrator, I've never had to do anything take-ownership-ish to access my stuff on another drive.
