need some help...
Wifes pc (WIN7 pro 64BIT) wont boot (it gets stuck on the windows splash screen).
Wont repair (it gets stuck on a blue background screen.. mouse still moves around but nuttin happening).
not even safe mode works..
hd (wdc raptor) keeps making ticking and buzzing noise (which makes me think the hdd took a poo)
so normally if its my pc I wipe the sucker out (format and reinstall os)
of course that would be too easy.. she has work files on her desktop.. and 9+ years of photos/vids in her docs I am assigned to go rescue...
any tips on how to do this..? can I just take the hdd out and hook it on my htpc (win7hp 32bit) and get the files/docs.. ?
