Get a 2.5 inch HDD casing and install the HD. then access thru USB. but got the set the jumper to slave...
Of course, your directory must not be encrpyted, otherwise you got to send them to PC repair shop...
regards
To add: yes you'll have to extract the HD from your laptop... the instruction should be available in the user manual provided with your laptop...

Yes you need a power and data lead to do this and they are normally found on ebay for a tenner.
