i've been given the green light for updating my whole system--

i'm thinking a g4 with OS9(one thing, not the dual--
god, i'm so inept)

i have the two hard discs--
including the one that came with my g3 as well as the maxtor
that doesn't show up on my g3 anymore--
i need a way to recover the data on both discs--

i also need a reliable cd writer--

i have a LITTLE bit of money to do this
(i'm an artist with no defenses)

any help?

you people are the greatest!

I have an extra Memorex USB/FW external CD/DVD drive that I
