Server Down - How to Recover Website hosted on IIS ?

Hello,

We have a server running on Server 2003. Last week this server is down (hardware issue) and we don't have any plan to keep this server (even the OS.) We have taken the HDD from server. We need to host the website elsewhere. How can I recover the Website hosted in IIS?

We only need website content. Can I buy any HDD enclosure to connect to any computer through USB? The HDD is: SATA 3GB/S 7200 RPM

Thanks.

it depends the way your drive was connected if it was a standard hdd then yes you can do that however if it was using any raid technology then it can only be accessible by that specific raid card

following mattibutt's suggestion, if normal connection
you could even connect the drive to another system as a secondary and then access the data.

Depending on the website and how extravagant it was you can usually find the files under c:\<something...>\inetsrv\
