Hey,
So my computer recently broke from some malware on the drive. Almost positive motherboard is dead (doesn't boot, no charge light), but any other ideas are welcome :)

I got a new computer, and need to recover some files from that drive. There's already a post on this (http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1760166/moving-virus-infected-hard-drive-computer.html#), but it's from 2013. Thinking there might be some updates now. If not, then I'll go ahead and delete this.

Thanks!

 
Solution
Obtain a USB SATA dock.
Connect the infected drive with that.
Copy the personal files you need, being EXTREMELY careful not to continue the infection chain.

Or, the steps in your linked post. (from me...;) )

Tried it... had some issues, don't remember what. I'll give it another go.
