Data recovery

[Guest]

my desktop hard drive crashed. How do I connect it to my laptop so that I can recover my files? Do I need any data recovery software?

It's unclear exactly what you mean by 'hard drive crashed', but if your hard drive is still operational, something like this adapter would be good for recovering the data. Any hard drive you connect with it will show up like a regular external hard drive, and you can copy any files you want off it.

If your hard drive is not operational (ie. clicking), you will most likely need the services of a professional data recovery service.
