Messed up winows on lap top, transfer the data?

[keykenny]

hey a friend has a lap top that gives the blue screen of death everytime it turns on after the loading screen, how do I transfer the data from the laptop to another computer if I can't access windows?

get an external enclosure, put the laptop drive in there, and connect it to a working computer

Exactly what primate said. Stating the obvious but make sure though when you purchase one (should only cost a few bucks from newegg or somewhere) that you get a 2.5" enclosure instead of a 3.5" one. Slide the laptop HDD in and connect to another rig and voila.

Or use an adapter to plug it into your desktop might be cheaper alternative.

boot into linux with a ubuntu boot cd

then, just like in windows, access the hdd like you would in windows and transfer to a memory stick or something.

you just need to mount the hdd in linux which is easy enough to do.
