Hardware Forums - View Single Post - Reading HDD from old laptop on new laptop?

I think the HDD on my laptop is failing because I cannot boot into Windows XP all of a sudden. If I was to go buy a new laptop, can I access the data from my old HDD by hooking it up to the new laptop somehow? I also have a desktop PC, can I access the HDD from my desktop?

Thanks for the help.
