kungicraig Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Okay so I can start my laptop up until the login screen. I type my password in and then nothing happens. It either idles forever or it just freezes. Is there away to fix this? I need some of the files of this laptop. So if it can't be fixed, just a way to get those files would be much appreciated! Thanks. Quote
KenB Posted February 16, 2014 Posted February 16, 2014 Hi and welcome to ExTS I assume that accessing your files is a priority so let's deal with that first. The easiest way to do this is to buy a 2.5 inch to USB Hard Drive enclosure. ( posh name for a box that you put the hard drive in so that you can connect it to another computer ) They look like this - click here They are not expensive. Just one thing - there are 2 types of hard drive connection. SATA and IDE IDE is very old now and SATA has been around for a long time. If you are unsure check here ...... click here The enclosure will come with a USB cable - it uses the USB port to supply the voltage as well as transfer data. Once connected the drive should be recognised and you should be able to access your data. ( this assumes that there is not a problem with the drive itself ) Also if we can connect the drive to another system we can run some tests on it if necessary. Any questions just ask.
