my dad's laptop has all his work for the past year and the whole company's going to hell if this isn't fixed... the damn thing won't load windows in safe mode or in anything and i can't reformat it cuz the damn thing only has one hard drive.. i took the hard drive out and now i need a way to connect to another pc or laptop or whatever to get the shit off of it.. help plz!
 
So connect the drive to another computer as a slave and pull off the data, and hope that the drive isn't completely borked.

And perhaps, if the data he has on his computer is of the importance that it can make the "whole company go to hell" if lost, doing a regular backup would seem a good idea.

There are adaptors available that will allow you to connect 2.5" HDDs (notebook/laptop hard drives) to regular desktop PCs via the IDE connector. I bought mine at Fry's for about $7 a piece. They're great and will allow you get whatever data you need to save. When I've needed to use this, I connected the 2.5" HDD to the secondary IDE channel only because I don't have small enough jumpers to configure the drive as CS or SLAVE. GOOD LUCK!
