Putting external HD in a new Enclosure

[queefdemon]

I recently dropped my 250g fantom drives external hard drive and it bent the power prongs on the inside of the enclosure making the hard drive turn off whenever its power cord is isnt bent a certain way. I was wondering if i could remove the HD from its defective case and put it in a new one would it retain all of the information and, more importantly, work.
thanks

As long as the connections on the drive it's self are not damaged it should work & you will not loose any data. Drive enclosures are reasonably cheep.

No the Hard drive itself is perfectly fine, im a dj and i do everything strictly thru my laptop, but i have work wednesday, so i just wanted to make sure it would work if i went out and bought an enclosure today, thanks for the quick reply, ill post back after i get the enclosure if i have any sort of problems. thanks again.

You should be fine then. Just make sure that the drive is connected correctly in the new enclosure & you should be OK.
