I'm going through my pictures and just realized I have none of them from last Halloween on this computer.  So I checked my external hard drive and they aren't on there either.  Which means they are only saved to my other computer.  Which has no graphics card in it so I can't turn it on and find them.

I guess I never transferred them to the external so now I don't have them on this computer.  I was missing Easter 2011 pictures, too.  I thought I just didn't take any (Easter isn't that big of a deal in our house) but now they might just be on the other computer that I can't get into.  Ugh.

I was sure I had EVERYTHING backed up.  A couple years ago I had to do a complete system wipe and thought I backed everything up only to find out I missed the folder with Owen's kindergarten graduation pictures in it.  So now all I have of that day are 4 edited photos I uploaded to a website (and they aren't high-res in the least).  I lost all the pictures of him with his friends (kids he'll never see again).

Now this.  All I have on this computer from last Halloween are the photos I edited and saved to put online so they are small files, low-res.

Can you pull out the hard drive from the other computer, put it into an external hard drive case with an IDE cable, and browse the drive from another computer via USB?
