How do you replace a hard disk drive?
The exact steps to replace a hard drive depend on the computer you are replacing it in. The general method is to open the computer and remove components until you get to access to the hard drive. Make sure you are grounded so you don't fry anything with a static shock.
How do you replace the hard disc on computer with an old hard disk from another computer k?
To replace the hard disc on one computer with the hard disk of another you would have to make sure they have the same connectors. If they do then you may proceed to first unplug the computer, remove the cover to access the hard drive (you may have to look at documentation to show you how to remove the hard drive from the case, replace with the old hard drive. Depending on where this old drive came out of, when it boots if the operating system is still intact it will have to update several items throughout the boot process in order to recognize the new hardware.
How can I pull the files off of my old Hard Drive?
(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.

You spilled pop on your laptop and now the only thing you could get out was your hard drive is there anyway for you to get the files off without getting a new laptop?
Yes. You can get an external hard drive case and put the hard drive in that to convert it to an external USB hard disk.Your laptop would have had a 2.5 inch hard disk. Make sure you find an external hard drive case which accepts laptop-sized 2.5 inch hard disk. Also you must keep in mind what type of interface your hard disk uses. If it is SATA, you will need a case which supports it, as opposed to regular ATA-100 (now being called PATA).Put your laptop's old hard disk into that external hard drive case & bingo, its now an external USB disk that you can plug into any computer! Another answer Alternatively, you can purchase a USB to IDE cable and temporarily connect the drive to a desktop computer to retrieve your files.
