Question about moving files from a PC to a Mac

Posted:

I am thinking about replacing a PC of mine with a Mac Mini. I will need to get the files off of the PC and get them onto the Mini. I know that products like Move2Mac exist, but I don't think that I will be able to use them. The probelm I have is that Windows will not start on the PC.



Here's what I am thinking. Could I get the Mini and then get an external hard drive case, and then put the PC hard drive in the case and hook it up to the Mini as an external drive and pull the files off of there?



Will the fact that Windows is installed on the drive but does not work keep the Mini from accessing it as an external drive?



Thanks in advance for your help.

    That should work. And, when you're done migrating, you'll have a nice shiny new external drive that you can format and use.
