I'm a moron when it comes to technology so any answers to this question will have to be phrased as if talking to a child.
My laptop (inspiron 1520) died a few days ago, i think it was something to do with the battery (every time i turn on the laptop the start up icon flashes then turns off and theres no response from the computer) but i want to tranfer a important document over to my pc (inspiron 530)
Is there any way i can take the hard drive for my laptop and transfer files to my pc without any expensive external hard drives or anything (it is only one document after all)
Answer
if your desktop can take more then 1 hard drive and its the same type of connection as the laptops hard drive, you can just plug it in when the computer is turned off and find all your files on a new drive in "My Computer". If your desktop can not take the hard drive from the laptop, you will have to buy an external case, which isn't much diffrent, you just slide the hard drive in a plug it in to a wall outlet and a usb port. getting the hard drive should be easy, just unscrew the back of the laptop and open the panel.

Desktop hard drive compatibility?

Idk what type of hard drive my desktop supports, all I know is that it connects to IDE slot I think. Does it matter if I buy any kind of hard drive?(SATA,ATA,etc..
Answer
IDE is not a "slot", it is an interface standard that defines the connection. IDE is also known as ATA or Parallel ATA. This is the type of drive that this channel supports. SATA (also known as Serial ATA) is a different interface and is not compatible with this channel.
