All you need to do is remove the hard drive from the laptop. For instructions on that, go to the Samsung website and see if they have a pdf booklet for your system.

Then you will need to purchase a case. I always but from Amazon, so, here is one example:

http://www.amazon.com/Vantec-NexStar-2-5-Inch-External-Enclosure/dp/B002JQNXZC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1358166216&sr=8-4&keywords=laptop+external+case

It may give you instructions it the box, but, once you see the connections, especially if it is a SATA drive, they is only one way to plug it in.

Once you put it together, you now have an external hard drive that you just plug into a USB port. When you see the new letter appear in your My Computer, you can now access the data.

Good luck

It is quite a simple process and you can get to your data rather quickly.
