So before you erase the drive, copy your files to another drive.

If you have your files on an old Mac with a SCSI drive internal or external; and your new Mac does not have a SCSI external connector or use SCSI drives internally, what can you do? I'll discuss many options. My GENERAL advice is as follows. EITHER use some kind of Mac which HAS SCSI to read your drive, and use it to transfer files either by connection or by transfer to another media (floppy, CD, ZIP disk). OR, you add some kind of SCSI hardware to your new Mac to read the drive.

This will create a FAT32 partition, which is compatible with both Windows and MAC.

WinRescue will back up to an external harddrive as long as it is listed in Windows Explorer as a regular harddrive. WinRescue backs up files and not a harddrive image.

In computing, there is never enough space on your existing hard drive. As applications take up more space and with video editing, digital photography, and digital music becoming more popular, there is an increased need for hard drive storage. A hard drive enclosure kit allows you to replace your existing hard drive with a larger capacity drive and recycle your old drive for external storage. External storage kits are also popular for mobile computing.

No additional drivers are needed for these operating systems. The drivers that ship with these operating systems should automatically load when the drive is connected. If your product came with a Driver CD, insert the CD into your computer and install the appropriate driver using the Add Hardware Wizard in the Windows Control Panel. You may also find the appropriate driver on the downloads page on the Kaser website. No additional drivers are need for Mac OS X to see the drive.
