    Messed up winows on lap top, transfer the data?

    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?

    GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3L

    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.
    Compaq A910em: T2330 dual core 1.6Ghz, X3100 384MB GPU, 160GB sata HDD, 2GB RAM
    Gaming rig: Asus Striker II, Coolermaster GX 750w, E4600 @ 2.4Ghz, 2.5GB RAM, Zerotherm FZ 120, 9500GT 1GB
    Server: Mac mini running W23k Server - 1.8Ghz dual-core, 1GB RAM, 1x80GB, 2x500GB externals + LTO1 tape backup

    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.
