  • You may plug that into a friends PC or take to any local computer hardware store and ask them to transfer the files needed into your pen drive.
  • Buy an external HDD encloser, to convert that older HDD into a portable HDD then connect it to your new laptop via USB

thanx..:) i totally forgot to tell that i cant take out the internal hard disk and convert it to an external hard disk for myself as the laptop would go to my younger brother after it being serviced..,.also the amount of content i want to extract is quite large, around 225gb...so i cant be using a pen drive...is there any cable to directly connect the internal hard drive to my new laptop and transfer the files i need...??
