Trying to get files off a scrap hard drive

When I googled this problem, I came up with 10 different reasons. Either I'm looking in the wrong direction, or your google is broke.

and I came up with 1,000's situations like it as well. However, as mentioned in the first post of the thread, it was covering external hard drives. This is not an external hard drive. This is hooked to my laptop like any other hard drive, to be erased, but first I need the documents and files off of it.

I am not looking to get the junk files...just the important docs that my in laws would rather not see lost.

Cant hook up my external hard drive and do a switch, because their old pc is dead.

"This is hooked to my laptop like any other hard drive"

Ooops, missed the above. How are you connecting the data hd to your Laptop?

Suggest you try the modis operandi I posted earlier, using an available Desktop PC. my 2 roubles worth :-)
