Vista Home repair
Hi I have a laptop with what I believe is a sick hard drive. StartUp Reapir
doesn't work, and computer wont boot up on Safe mode. When i tried to repair the Vista Windows Installation it took 15 minutes to find the Windows installation and then went immediately in Attentpting Repairs which is simply running doing nothin. Then i get the blue screen of death ! What I wanted to know, is there anyway i can connect the laptop to another computer in order to see the laptop hard drive as a slave and copy some data from it. Before anyone asks, it was baked up to 24 hours ago, the problem occured last night just prior to a backup being run ! Thanks for any advise Alex

Hi,
You would need to remove the hard drive and slave it in a working system. There are adapters commonly found in pc stores for this purpose. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "Alexey" wrote in message ...

Easier than trying to connect the laptop is to remove the hard drive, put it in a USB external enclosure, and connect that enclosure and drive to a USB port in another computer.
