Answer 1

2 options.

1) if you want you can take it to Best Buy (or any other PC repair place) and ask them to remove the data.

2) If your daring enough you can remove the data yourself using a desktop and a special connector (link at the bottom to purchase it). You take the HD out of the laptop and hook it up to a desktop and transfer the data. Though I don't recomend this for people not comfortable or familliar with working inside a PC (you could mess up the tower or even fry the notebook hard drive)

Remove the hard drive from the laptop and place it within a 2.5 inch external enclosure, now you have an external hard drive. Connect the external hard drive to another computer, using either a USB or Firewire cable. Now, you can access the data stored on the laptop's hard drive. The external enclosure will cost you about $15 -20 USD from any computer supply store or you can buy it at newsegg.com.
