Laptop Data Recovery
Hi all
My 2 year old decided to pull my laptop off the kitchen worktop onto a tiled floor
Its now pretty knackered, in fact it doesn't do a lot !!
My problem is, i have a lot of info on the hard drive and i need to somehow recover it.
Is there a lead i can buy and then connect it up to my desktop as a slave or can anyone recommend a way to get round this?
Laptops off to the insurance company soon to be assessed for repair or beyond economical repair(they keep it and send me a new one )
Thanks in advance
Tony

If it will turn on and boot you should be able to hook it up to your desktop one way or another. A cross-over network cable would be best.
If not, you need to take the hard drive out, get and adapter cable, and plug it into your PC as a second drive.

Tony,
Try this Microdirect cable.
They are basically, a 2.5" Hard drive (44pin) to 3.5" (40 Pin) convertor.
You could also contact places like aria (www.aria.co.uk)
One end fits your motherboard and the other plugs into the laptop drive
