Drive Disk
How do I salvage files from a disk drive?
Hi. I had a toshiba laptop which is now broken, but also own another laptop. Is there any way that I can salvage the files I had on the Toshiba disk drive using my working laptop? If so, what do I need to purchase?
The disk drive is Toshiba MK1652GSX.
Many thanks.
I take it that you want a solution beyond fixing the original laptop, so i recommend picking up one of these

I picked one up for the very same problem and i simply unscrewed the harddrive out and connected it up to a working computer via usb.
Its pretty easy to get the harddrive out on most computers. Let me know if you need any more info.
