An old PC (1997, Pent II, 3.2G UATA Quantum HD, WIN98SE) used to teach kids basic skills, has finally given up the ghost.  I was about to donate it to a repair school when I realized Fed taxes for past 5 years reside on the HD.  Need help to recover info on HD when the PC won't even POST.  It has been suggested that I remove the HD, enclose it in an external case with USB capabilities and treat it like a big memory stick.  Does this sound feasible?  Thanks.

Carol
