Hello there Hastae56

We have read your message We try to help you.

The hard disk what kind of disk is this?

Is it an HDD or an SSD? Is this only the mentioned messages from your old inbox back in a folder, copied and saved on hard disk with your calendar information? or are there operating systems on it?

Do you have a wire to connect it to your USB connection?
