[QUOTE="dust in the wind, post: 38204, member: 215"] as long as the drive didn't fry, you should be able to. You would need to pull the drive out the laptop and get an external drive cradle to plug the laptop drive into. Then just plug the drive cradle into another pc (it will have a USB cable from the cradle to the pc). It will appear as another drive on your new computer and you can browse for any files you need to copy. Depending on the drive in the laptop, something like this would work. Again - this depends on the type of drive you need to copy the files from.

There are several types of drive cradles or you could get a drive enclosure and put the old drive in it and use for extra storage or for backups. [/QUOTE]
