how do I go about doing this?? I have a dead Emachines w2888 Desktop (only a 2 1/2 years old mind you) that won’t power up for anything. I have analyzed my options and went with the best one and that is to purchase a new PC vs trying to revive this one. With all that said, I still would like to keep the data that’s in this dead PC. Someone here on TR advised me to create a “slave drive” to keep the saved data (pictures, documents, etc.). How do I go about getting this done? I’m not an expert on PCs but I’m not a novice either. I’m a quick learner so if someone could show me the light I would really appreciate it! There are just way too many pictures of my 8 month old daughter in the PC to just allow it to go to the dumpster. Yes, my mistake for not backing up my data but to be honest I’m done kicking myself
