Any idea I cane save data from laptop? This is the problem. Comp won`t raise the o. system and I need some data from drive C, otherwise I would reinstall the windows but I need this data to save. I have tried some things, but nothing. Any Idea Please? Maybe some useful software or can I remove the HDD from this lappy and how to connect it to some other, to read it as second and the copy data?

Thanks in advance!

To read the data from the HDD I would use a IDE/Sata to USB lead. The HDD will be recognised as an external drive when connected to another machine

I would first identify what HDD you have got ie is it IDE or SATA. You can tell this by taking it out and examining the connection. If it has pins then it it is IDE else SATA. Then buy an external IDE/Sata Case which would have the nessary circuit and USB connection. Then use another machine which has a USB connection to read the HDD. Good luck.

You could leave the hdd in the laptop and try to boot with Acronis True Image Echo software disk
If you attache USB drive you could transfer files from laptop to external drive without touching any screw.

So you say Qrius that I can use that software to copy all the files to USB. I need something like that. It would be great if I can maybe to start up from MS-DOS and use Norton Comander to copy some data to Flash drive and then I can format.

With the option " universal restore" you could even make a clone of the laptop for any other Brand/model Laptop to install on
