I was about to reply until I saw this thread is some 17 years old.

My computer, several years old now, has decided not to respond to mouse of keyboard, although the hard drive appears to be working. There are a few other snags as well. It had been playing up for some time, so much so that I was backing up to My Documents to CD frequently.
Anyway, I've now replaced it with a laptop, and all is well though there is still some stuff on the old unit I would like to access. Any ideas as to how this could be done?
TIA

There is an awful lot that could have died in the past seventeen years .
