<p>A far less invasive way to deal with this is to buy an external
USB case. They aren't terribly expensive and offer the
flexibility it sounds like you need.</p>
<p>If the drives aren't encrypted then connecting them to a SATA +
power should be fine. I've done this before with no problems. I
can't remember if the drives I connected were NTFS or ext2 but I
suspect either would be OK.<br>

Hello
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have the following situation.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>My wife has a CV on an old computer and is now wanting to
update this document without having to look up all the dates,
etc. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This document could be one one it two drives: a SanDisk solid
state drive; or a Western Digital HDD. Both of these drives have
a SATA interface. <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;
background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Unfortunately, this
computer does not now work; I believe that the processor is at
fault.</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I had hoped to use an old Ubuntu computer to read these
drives. I have attached the SSD to the SATA and power cables to
act as a second harddrive without success. Can anyone advise me
on whether what I am doing is possible, and if so, what else do
I need to do?</div>
<div><br>
Thanks.<br>
<div><br>
