I have a gateway laptop which is about 3 years old. The laptop over heated & has caused the motherboard to fail. I have lots of files/photos on the harddrive that I would like to retrieve however I do not want to pay ridiculous prices for an IT shop to retrieve them or pay for another motherboard. If anyone knows how to get these off or how to turn the internal harddrive into an external USB harddrive please can you contact me?? Many Thanks!!! :)
