My windows vista laptop won't boot. It gets to the windows loading screen, hangs, flashes a BSOD for literally half a second, and then restarts itself. I'm assuming something is wrong with my registry/windows files.

I planned on hooking up the laptop HD to my desktop and then copying and pasting the files from the laptop HD onto my Desktop HD. Afterwards, I would reinstalling windows. However, when i connect my laptop's HD to my desktop, it tells me that I have to format the disk and won't let me access it.

Is there anyway that I can get into my HD without formatting it and losing the things I'm trying to backup in the first place?

If you have an external enclosure that the drive fits in you can use that to get your data on to your desktop.
