Dell Inspiron 5100 PP07L: How do I access files from HDD?

Sun, 13 Dec 2020 06:46:03 -0700

My Dell Inspiron 5150 laptop was damaged and I salvaged my hard drive from it. I need to access my files and information from its hard drive but don’t know how to do it? I’ve read this as a possible suggestion:

To recover the data, purchase a 2.5" EIDE (NOT SATA) USB 2.0 enclosure and mount the drive into it. Attach it to a working system by USB and copy your data files to the host system's hard drive.

I’m using a Razer Blade 15 computer with access to two USB 3.0 ports. The HDD from the Dell Inspiron 5150 looks to have a 22 pin (only) interface connection (See below photos)? The recommendation above simply doesn’t work because of the type of connection I have to my HDD.

This is how I am setup.

This is the bottom view (notice the 2 pins not plugged in and connected); I hope I have it connected correctly and that the 2 pins not connected aren't the reason why I can't access or read the drive?

Here is the error message I am getting trying to open the HDD that is connected.

Dell Inspiron 5100 PP07L: The part of the laptop where the charger is broken?

Sun, 17 Jun 2018 11:37:02 -0700

The laptop charter/where the charger goes got all messed up. Despite this, the laptop still works. (Can't turn on obviously, but it would if it could be charged.) Should I have the laptop repaired? Or should I have the hard drive removed? IF I can get the laptop repaired how should I go about doing this in the most cost effective way?
