HOG IPC hard drive file retreival

I recently had to install an upgrade kit on a churches Hog IPC.
The mother board was the only problem, but was forced (due to lack of original mother boards) to have the church purchase an upgrade kit which includes motherboard, processor, memory, and new hard drive. Since the new setup uses a sata drive, the old hard drive had to be discarded and I purchased an external case for it so I could pull the show files from it and load them onto the new system.
After attaching the old HD to my laptop which by the way is XP, I was not able to find the show files at all. After calling Mitch Peoples, he informed me that the files are not all in one file folder but spread out all over the place.
Anyone had to do this and have a solution for getting the show files.
It was suggested to put the HD in a console and then do a backup.
Well, can't do that as the console now has the sata drive connections and cannot connect the older HD. So with all this said, there must be a way to do this being as the IPC is windows XP and is in essence a PC. And I have an XP PC.
HELP!!!!!!!:aargh4::)

  • As I rule, I always back up show files. I own and operate Hog systems. I have Hog 3 and 2 PC. When I went to the church to trouble shoot their problem, I asked if they had backups and they looked at me like the RCA dog. So not my problem that they don't have backups, but did tell them they need to do them.
    However, I have all my show files on my computers that run Hog PC and the folders have show names and all contents of the folder are all in one folder together. Why in the H#$% would you not have it the same way on an IPC which in essence is an XP computer in a different case. Even the playback program wings are contected via USB cables inside. Is there some reason the guys building this stuff make it harder than it has to be?
    I will try and connect it and run my Hog 3 PC and through it try and access the show file.
