Recovering data from hp pavillion hard drive without the laptop

[bamafan1963]

Hello,
I have the hard drive removed from my HP Pavillion dv3000 due to the the rest of laptop being fried. Is there a way to recover the data without an Hp laptop? I have a Toshiba Satellite that does work. Was hoping to find a way to connect the HP drive via USB to my toshiba and revover data. Any chance this is possible

sure just pop the drive into an external usb enclosure then you can access the drive from any other computer that has a usb plug.
