I have an old IDE drive from my last machine. The drive officially died, but I never tossed it since it has some important data on it. I always hoped the day would come that I'd figure out how to boot it up again and try to get data off of it. But, I have a problem that comes before the fact that it's dead. it's an IDE drive and my new(er) machine has a SATA board.
What's the best way to get the new machine to see the old drive (assuming I can resurrect it)? I don't want to invest a lot of time and resources on a drive that may not open at all anyway.
Thanks.

They make IDE/SATA to USB adapters. They are not the most reliable connections, but they may be enough for you to retrieve anything you need off of it.
You can find these for a fairly cheap price on Amazon
