How do i recover data from hard drive that wont boot up?

I want some stuff off my old PC's hard drive but,



My old PC wont boot up anymore, cant exactly remember what was wrong with it but i know that if i have the hard drive i want the data off plugged into the pc that the pc wouldnt boot up.



Is there anyway of me being able to get that hard drive working again, OR just get the data off it??



Thanks!How do i recover data from hard drive that wont boot up?
Buy an "external USB hard drive enclosure".



Very cheap - widely available - pop your disk in, connect the USB cable to your new PC - converts it into an external disk drive.



Unless the drive is totally shot you should be able to get the data you want off it.How do i recover data from hard drive that wont boot up?
Install the drive into a new PC, set up as Slave. Or buy an external HD case.
