Hello,

Laptop wont boot, how can I possible recover my files? I tried booting from a CD (Windows Vista Recovery Disk) through the BIOS set up menu, however this doesn't seem to work either. Any ides how this can be fixed? I cannot afford to loose my work files :(

Please help. Thank you in advance.

I am using a different PC at home right now.

You might recover your files if you buy a 2.5 inch external drive enclosure.You remove the disk drive from your broken laptop put it into the enclosure and connect it to a second PC via a USB cable. This assumes the fault with the laptop is in the PC and not the hard drive.

Good Luck
