Ok I have a HP Pavilion Entertainment dv7-3079. A while back something in the mother board went bad and it will shut itself down after being on for under a minute. I have a warranty and plan to send it in for repairs the problem is I have a lot of photos of my daughter on there i do not want to loose. They said anything on the hard drives will be lost as they send it back to me with out of box factory settings. they will take off photos for me but charge me 80.00 to do so. I cannot afford that right now. My friend has a Toshiba a105 lappy and the hard drives fit in it but one, ( my lappy has 2 separate hard drives) the screen goes from the welcome page to saying "windows is loading files" and back again. The other hard drive I put it in and it states no operating system is present. So no go there. Another friend has a similar lappy to mine. Its a HP Pavilion DV6-1230US I think, a 15" instead of a 17 like mine. So I wonder if it would work to use hers or not? I don't know what else to do to get these photos off there, and not pay more than I can afford. Anyone have any ideas at all how I can go about this?
