several options:
- take HD out and stick it in an enclosure that allows you to
mount it via USB on any desktop/laptop. investigate if it's
ok, listen to odd squeeky sounds etc., look at fdisk -l
- For about $20-30 you can get these universal interfaces that
allow you to connect any disk (2.5" or 3.5", IDE or SATA) via
USB to desk or laptop. Follow procedure just mentioned before.
if it's VERY important, you can find companies that charge large amounts
to recue your data.
