Hello, my Sony laptop suffered an unfortunate incident recently. I was in the garage working on the car and had the laptop on top of it playing tunes and logged into PP. I walked past and unfortunately snagged the cord. The laptop went flying and hit the ground pretty hard. Luckily the screen was unscathed but I think the hard drive is toast. It will boot up but I get the boot in safe mode screen and then it reboots. It won't start in safe mode so I guess the drive is scratched.
I know the data is still there but I need to be able to access it. A friend loaned a cable to me so I could connect via USB from another computer directly to the drive. Unfortunately the HD connection on the cable is different than my drive. What is the best way to get everything I need off of the HD? I already found a place to pick up the new HD.
Oh and in order of importance here's what I need off of it....
1) Electronic Flight Logbook
2) My Documents Folder
3) Pictures
I don't care about any of the music etc..
Here are some pics of the drive
I like the picture warnings in the bottom center of the label
Hard Drive side of the plug
Motherboard side of the plug
Computer carnage
