How to recover files from a failed HDD connected via a external USB enclosure
Background Information:
MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2010, 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB RAM, previously a 250GB Hitachi HDD standard with the notebook.
I recently had my hard drive fail on my MacBook Pro, and I replaced it with a new SSHD myself. I did not have recovery options set up or have my disk backed up in any way. I now have my Macbook fully functioning with a clean install on the new SSHD.
What I hoping to do now is recover all or at least a portion of my old files. I have an external disk enclosure that connects via USB, and I am wondering what would be the best place to start in trying to recover my files from my failed drive. I haven't been able to find a solid solution so far from general Google searches, so hopefully someone here can help me out!
Cheers,
Cody
