Hi it's obviously certain that there is far more knowledgable people on here that can advise me with a problem regarding retrieving photos and videos from the hard drives on broken laptops .

I have two Toshiba satellite laptops bit don't know what size hard drives these have to order an external case to boot these up .
I also have a Hewlett-Packard desktop pro but in assuming the size of the hard drive is the same for all desk tops .
I'm trying to recover all my fishing photos and video as it is an extensive collection it would be a shame to lose this forever .
Any help or advise would be most welcome bearing in mind I'm not that hot on computer related problems .
Many thanks in anticipation of helpful reply's .

I'm not an expert either but this works for me.

Take the hard drives out of the old laptops, stick them in the above and plug it into a new laptop.
It should then show up in the new laptop and then you can search for the photos.

Maybe there are other ways but that works for me.
