I need to recover all the data from a hard drive off a lap top which is broken, The drive itself is NOT corrupted or broken, but the screen and top lid are broken clear off so it wont boot due to the fact it is not connected to the top anymore.. Even if i connect a monitor to it. I would like to get all my music and pictures from it , thank you

First of you need a S-ATA cable,
second you need another pc, desktop or laptop.
plug in the old hard drive on the other computer, go to your harddrives and simply copy all over to your other harddrive.
