ARGH....Laptop just died, Now what?

[Jefft72]

My wife's laptop took a dump a little bit back and I was able to remove the hard drive and recover data from it. I used SATA wire from a company called Apricorn. I plugged the SATA end into the drive and the other end was a USB to her desktop. It mounted up as a removable drive if I recall and I was able to get pictures and docs without issue.

Good luck.
