How do I do this I need to pull my files programs pictures ect from my old laptop to my new laptop my problem is that my original laptop the screen has been cracked and I can't see the screen?
Option 1: There should be a monitor port on the back of the laptop. It's a blue plug. Take a monitor from a desktop computer and plug it into the blue port on the laptop. Then turn your laptop on. You will be able to see your laptop screen on the desktop monitor. Then save your files to a CD or flash drive. Option 2: If you don't have a blue monitor port on the laptop you will need to pull the hard drive out of the laptop and buy a hard drive 2.5" (Either SATA or IDE) to USB adapter then you can plug the hard drive into another computer and read the files, copy them, etc.. This option should be carried out by a technically savy person or computer tech.

It can be..... But I use a maxtor 500gigabyte external hard drive, and it makes a world of difference. It has boosted my ram, and prosscessing speed, and I can take it to work, plug it into my computer there, with all my programs, so i can add in what I did at home instead of lugging around my laptop.

You spilled pop on your laptop and now the only thing you could get out was your hard drive is there anyway for you to get the files off without getting a new laptop?
Yes. You can get an external hard drive case and put the hard drive in that to convert it to an external USB hard disk.Your laptop would have had a 2.5 inch hard disk. Make sure you find an external hard drive case which accepts laptop-sized 2.5 inch hard disk. Also you must keep in mind what type of interface your hard disk uses. If it is SATA, you will need a case which supports it, as opposed to regular ATA-100 (now being called PATA).Put your laptop's old hard disk into that external hard drive case & bingo, its now an external USB disk that you can plug into any computer!
