We had our HP laptop motherboard die (at least that's what HP told us the problem was). We pulled the hard drive out and bought a different laptop. We also bought a cable that plugs into the old HP hard drive and then into the USB port of the new machine. I can see the hard drive of the HP under "my computer" when I plug it into the new machine. It is listed as drive "F."
It shows that a good chunk of the F drive is full (1.94 GB free of 11.7 GB). However, when I click on this drive, labeled HP_Recovery (F:), it shows only one folder, labeled recovery. This folder, when clicked on, says that it is empty. I had a number of folders on my old HP with some Word files I want to copy.
Is there any way to find these files? The HP only crashed a few months ago at most so this isn't an old drive.
