Target2019's Linux thread mentioned cleaning up old computers and components. Yesterday I started cleaning out a closet full of stuff and found a couple of hard drives from previous computers. I'm pretty sure they are from the Windows 3.1 era. They are 120GB and are marked Connor CP30104.
Is it possible to read these drives if they are mounted in a Win7 or Win10? Can they be mounted in a Win7 or Win10 machine?
Along these same lines I have a couple of WinXP machines I want to get rid of but before I do, I want to pull the hard drives from them. I'd also like to mount these in either a Win7 or Win10 machine and try to read them, possibly leave them installed as an archive hard drive. Is this possible?
I've built the Windows machines these drives would go in so I know I have the open bays and spare cabling to connect them, just want to know if it's possible to read these drives before I give it a trial-and-error method.
