can you take the hardrive out of the laptop and put into an external hardrive case and plug it into another computer and save all the info onto that computer

or install it as a slave (secondary) drive in your pc, you may get a problem if you have a windows password but theres a way to force your way around that  |

Phil, If you can get up to Maesteg at any point, I can remove my drive from it's caddy and have a go getting your info off if you like.
Let me know if thats any good to you.

Has anyone tried to recover the laptop for you not just the drive?
