Recovering images from dead computer.

[simonr78923654]

Hi All,

I'm hoping that someone can help with a probel I have. I had edited a series of photos from a recent trip but had not yet had the chance to export them and save them on the HDD.

Unfortunately before I could export the images my computer died. (I'm pretty sure that my motherboard died) If I pull the HDD out and hook it up to another computer will I be able to access the edited images somewhere? If so, could someone please tell me where on the HDD I should look for them?

TIA

Simon
