Connector from a computer USB connection to a ribbon cable and aHD

[jvalh]

Hello Experts,

Recently a computer I have went belly up. I have removed the HD with the
ribbon cable attached to it. Does anyone know of a connector that would
connect the plug on that ribbon to a USB socket on the computer?

Another Q: If the connection is made could a Windows installation on
that HD be run on the computer?

Could a SATA HD be used in the same way instead of the plain old HD?

TIA and a great week to you all

You might purchase a hard drive enclosure with a USB connector.

Thank you Juan.

I have a few of the setups you mention and I find that the connection
point between the cable and the box is very weak and usually goes belly
up. This is exacerbated because current cables are very stiff.

it sounds complicated. You'll have to bring your computer to the United
States Post Office, and have them put it in a box and mail it to me so I
can check it out. You should get there before Sitre Magana and his ugly
girlfriend Dori arrive unless you want to be holding a computer in one
arm while covering your eyes with the other arm while Sitre Magana is
behind his ugly girlfriend Dori pounding his pud in front of you at the
Post Office.

When I'm done with that PC I will put it in it's box and send it back to
you, possibly use the UPS store so I don't have to take a chance of
Sitre Magana behind his ugly girlfriend Dori.

No, Sitre Magana would eat anything you send him . It's Twoo. He's
517 pounds and confined to a wheelchair. Pretty much the only thing he
does in life is stuff his fat face, that is, when he's not at the Post
Office pouding his pud behind his ugly girlfriend Dori.
