Two months ago replaced failed HD with a SATA 250 GB HD. Now it appears that the logicboard has failed. Can I take out the HD and use it as a data drive connected by USB to a used macbook that I hope to purchase? I can’t afford to fix the LB and I have to have my data asap. Also any suggested spots to determine value and sell the used macbook pro? Thanks!
Here’s a firewire external enclosure, with firewire instead of USB you can boot from it: [linked product missing or disabled: IF107-055-1]
You can hook up your Mac HD to a non-Mac laptop (either via Firewire or USB) but you’ll need to make sure your non-Mac machine understands the mac filesystem, HFS. If the non-Mac is a Windows box, you can try this software: http://www.mediafour.com/macdrive
