hi im not sure if its sata hard drive. My hard drive is fine. However my laptop is 4yrs old and is compaq v6500. Pls let me know.
Once you have removed the hard drive from your laptop.Please check the attached picture,it will help you recognize if your hard drive is SATA or IDE.Accordingly just buy a portable HDD casing (sata/ide) and connect your laptop Hard drive to it and plug it to any computer.You should be able to see your data.
