My laptop has given up the ghost so the start button is completely destroyed. But that is not the point. The question is how can I transfer the data on the hard disk to an external hard drive? (At least the most important ones) what exactly do I need? Have tried to install hard disk into another laptop but got only the message (no device etc. Drop Boot Disk.)
Do you have a tower? Connect the hard disk to the motherboard via cable. If not, buy a hard disk docking station and connect it to a PC / laptop.
Buy external hard drive cases (available from about 5 euro), so that the hard drive can continue to use.
All you have to do is connect the old Leptop hard drive to a PC as an external hard drive.
Thank you
