Replace hard drive for a short moment?

I had asked a question before

It was about my data on my broken laptop… I have now removed the hard drive and I also have a cable to connect it to my healthy laptop

the problem is my laptop does not recognize it by the TrueCrypt what is on the hard drive of my broken laptop.

My question now could I open my healthy laptop, remove the hard drive and briefly install the hard drive from the broken laptop to save my data or is there a danger that my laptop / hard drive will be over afterwards

Thanks in advance

and sorry for all the strange questions

Yes, you can do that. If you do it right, it will work.

You do not have to! This thread will help you:

It's about why your old laptop broke. Basically, you can unscrew and screw in hard drives as you want. But if it is a virus that is on your hard drive that prevents your laptop from working, it will not work. For that you would need more knowledge in the matter.

I don't quite understand what you want. You need Truecrypt to get the data on a hard drive encrypted with Truecrypt.

You can also encrypt a USB disk with True Crypt. The question is whether you can also use a built-in hard drive encrypted with True Crypt as a USB disk.

So install and try True Crypt.

No, the hard drive from my broken laptop is encrypted with TrueCrypt and therefore can't be easily connected to my healthy laptop via USB… So the question is whether I can briefly install the hard drive from the broken laptop into the new one to save my data. I'm always a little confused.

Hey first of all for this link. I'm quite practiced in English but not really what all of this technology matters. Could you maybe help me there in German?

Would be totally nice

So my hard drive is completely healed. I can no longer use the other laptop because the screen and keyboard are broken and it does not recognize a USB keyboard. So my hard drive is completely healed.

As far as I know you have to install True Crypt on the laptop before you can get to the plate. As I wrote, you can also encrypt USB disks. I can't tell you whether the disk for encryption had to be connected as a USB disk.

With pleasure. I'm translating a user's answer here.

Connect the hard drive using the SATA cable. Truecrypt / Veracrypt must be installed on the PC.
Open TrueCrypt and click on "Disk".
Find the partition. You may have to look at the capacity. If your PC has multiple disks, it will be difficult. Warning: If a partition is smaller than 1 GB, it is usually the wrong one.
Click "OK", select a drive letter from the list above and activate the data carrier with the "Mount" button.
When asked for the password, click "Options".
Select "Mount as removable medium" and "Mount partition with system lock without pre-boot authentication". Then click on "OK".
Enter your password and click "OK".
The drive should now be available.

Then it has to work

I'm going to try that right away… Thank you very much for this detailed explanation

Thank you very much
