[QUOTE="cornblack, post: 666192, member: 65531"] I have an old P4 pc lying around. that have intel dgc101c motherboard and only 1GB of ram(ddr1). now i am on skylake and 16gb ram. at first i had an 80gb(pata) hard drive on that. it failed because of some mbr or heat issues. after that i've added 500gb(sata) hard disk that i want to use as an extra storage in current pc. before using the old drive i want to check it if it contains viruses/malwares etc. how do i do this? my approach is to use puppy linux or some sort to analyse the data on both drive format, copy them if useful. any suggestions?
