It _was_ apparently the hard drive in the eMachine -- but when I got it 
back day before yesterday, I saved the drive itself, rather than have 
the techies "recycle" it.  Now, is it possible that I could put that old 
HD in another computer (preferably my old Compaq Presario, which fell 
victim to adware, and which I never did get running again) and get my 
files off of it and into my new HD?  Or is there some kind of cable 
connection I could buy in order to rescue my missing files and a couple 
of software items?  They did back up most of my files, but there are 
some things missing that I wanted to save...  Thanks again, everyone!
