So a file required to boot windows is corrupt and now I can't even get to my desktop. I'm going to do a clean install of windows 7 but I need the files on my hard drive before I do that.

How can I retrieve those files and transfer them to another computer? Is it as simple as taking out the hard drive and then using a USB to SATA cable to hook that hard drive up to another laptop?

And if ever, is there a good place in Richmond that can do this for me for a reasonable price?
