[quote]Does anybody know what should I do with an old/broken laptop?? I still have some music and photosthere what I would like to have but it's not very important. I just don't wanna throw it away knowing that somebody can use it... So if anybody knows a place or a person who can help me, please let me know!

Assuming that the old hard-drive is 2.5" IDE, you could use something like this:

To transfer over the data.



If it's a Mac, just connect the old and the new via Firewire Target-Mode and you can see the old drive as an additional drive on the new box ;-)

The website is in French so if you need a hand contacting them let me know. Wd be happy to help.
