If you add this hard drive to another computer as a secondary drive (slave) you should be able to keep the data, once you grab the data, format the drive and use it as storage for back-ups. I don't think it would be a problem, I would give it a try. I use a secondary hard drive to store downloaded programs (I don't buy packaged software anymore, it's all downloaded) and I also use this to back up data from my main drive, images and critical data. I just switch this drive to whatever computer I need it in and I have 20 GB of data. PS I also back up to CDR, and somethimes ZIP. Don't want to take the chance of all that data getting lost if that drive was dropped or died.
