tubthumper 0 Posted August 28, 2011 Would highly reccomend anything made by Asus.I build all my home-brew PCs with Asus motherboards, and my brother has just bought an Asus laptop which is honestly first class.Quick, good quality screen; but with an air of solidly-built quality that you don't get with the more mainstream manufacturers...

Ebuyer sell a caddy for 2.5 inch drives which allows you to hook it into another computer via USB. Reboot & with a little luck the computer will recognise the drive (you didn't say what killed the old machine) and you will have access to the file structure.

XS1100 0 Posted August 29, 2011 My lap top that died was an HP G6000 and from what I can gather its a known fault with that model,It lost it's wireless connection the display when all wierd and pychodelic before it crashed,it then just died and switched it self on and of every 2 to 3 seconds.I have since been out and bought an Acer 750GB HDD 4GB DDR3 MEMORY AMD Radeon graphics I went in to Maplins today and have bought the above to retreave data from the old hard drive it spins up so I might be in luck, and am working on it now I will let you know how I get on later. cheers Gaz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
