Hard drive data recovery
« on May 30, 2011, 12:02:01 pm by Redandwhitewhizards »
My mates laptop has broke, it has loads of pictures of the kids on the hard drive (with no other back up). Had the hard drive in a spare laptop of mine to try & recover the data but it simply won't boot.

Any suggestions on what I may be able to do to get the data off?

I've never tried it myself but i've read about it, i think you need to connect the dead hard drive as a slave to a desktop hardrive, i think the IDE connections are different on lap top hard drives, so you'll need a compatible IDE cable, once you done that you need to run some recovery software, I think

If the hard drive still works then a 2.5\" hard drive enclosure will allow you to connect the drive to another computer via USB so you can recover the files you need. Ten a penny on eBay.
