My Celeron base motherboard won't power up. Is it possible to move the complicated drive to an Athlon 64 system?

Yes.. set it up as a slave stale the hard drive contained by the Athlon 64 system to retrieve info on it by using the black jumpers. You will not be capable of boot from it . The chipsets are probably different and when your OS boots it looks for certain motherboard hardware.
Hey,



The other guy is wrong, you can boot from it if you want to. Just put it within as the master drive and you'll be able to boot from it. Make sure the other HDD is not hooked up otherwise both HDD's will transmit the computer that they are the one that needs to boot and it'll be a scrap to the death and neither will boot. If you don't want to boot from it and only just want the files, you can put it as the slave drive via the block jumpers and you can appropriate ownership of the files extract them.

Gregory is right that you will have to slave it within an AMD system. The chipsets of the motherboards are totally different and there is no instrument that harddrive will boot with the tentative motherboard.
You can connect the disk as indicated, providing the Athlon 64 has a PATA (parallel) connector and not only SATA (Serial) connectors (small plugs). Alternative, is to buy an external disk enclosure near USB connections.



Booting third answer - it might do with numerous re-boots on finding modern hardware, if you are lucky.
