Water was spilled on my 2009 MacBook Pro (aluminum body). What I’m trying to do is use my 2007 MacBook remove the hard drive from that & pop the 09 hard drive in it and try and save all my data to an external hard drive . If it reads and works with the 09’s hard drive in and is savable I will go ahead and purchase a (SATA Hard Drive Enclosure for the MacBook and MacBook Pro) and use as an external drive. Since my next purchase will be a iMac, that or will wait and find a broken replacement on eBay to refurbish… Is there anything I should do before trying this. I know one thing is backup the 07’s hard drive up before I install the 09’s.
Woo Here! Not that simple, how about making this easer and safer. Get a cable like this: Startech 2.5" SATA to USB adapter. Take your drive out of the damaged system and then just hook it up to your older system to copy off what you need.
