Most external hard drives have what is otherwise a standard hard drive which could be taken out and mounted in a caddy or another enclosure to get the data off and use. I am at some point in the near future about to do a similar job although for what is an internal hard drive for a friend. Maplins will sell you a hard drive encosure, but you might want to check the physical form factor of the drive before making the investment. Failling that an enterprising technician could probably remove the drive and mount it in your PC. Regards.
