[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 423414, member: 6969"] Sounds like a good plan is set up the disk in a caddy with another empty disk and take a copy. Don't run it up again until you can do that. Then you can look at the coppied data to recover your user files, find your product key etc. It all depends what he does with the computer and how much data he has? When the HDD in our old laptop died, i couldn't face the battle of getting a copy of windoze to install so put a new HD in and installed ubuntu. [/QUOTE]
