(The following assumes that the hard disk is still in working condition.)

If the hard disk is in a computer, you can connect it with another computer over a network, and copy the files over the network.

You can also connect the old hard disk to your new computer (using a second hard disk cable); in this case, if you manage to make it work, you can copy the files from one disk to another. In this case, the copying itself should be much faster than copying files over a network.

When you delete your data off of a hard drive such as photos or file, they are not actually deleted from the hard drive. The hard drive marks the space where those files were stored as available or free and new data can overwrite your deleted photos or files.

How can you put your files onto an external hard drive from a computer you are unable to log on to?

The adapters are called 2.5" External Enclosures, and are readily available.AnswerYou pretty much don't. If you can't log on to the computer, you can't access the files. If it's your computer, you might be able to remove the drive and attach it to another computer and access the files that way.

Emachine computer glitched during a power outage now windows won't load. Is there a way to pull files off of that computer Perhaps a USB to USB from other computer as if from external hard drive?

Dependably, there are quite a few ways to do this: Boot into another operating system live, such as 'Ubuntu', and start to pull the information off onto a USB device. Any Linux OS's are free to download and use. http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download Another great way is to take the hard drive out of your computer, and put it into another computer with a main hard drive already in it; this way you can just put the files onto the other hard drive, or another USB device. Either way it may take a little research on your part, but this is a fairly common issue, and is not that hard to solve Cheers, Frances
