You can buy a laptop hdd USB case. The hard drive plugs in like a jiffy and plugs into a USB port. They are usually around 20 -30 bucks. My wife's dell crapped out and that is how we retrieved all the data. Its now a very handy back up drive (no power required).
Good luck.

You can network your laptop with your desktop PC so you can access the files on the other computer and use its hard drive as if its an extension of your laptop.
To setup this connection, follow these instructions:

Hope this helps.

If you encrypted the folders and don't have the password, you're beat.
