I just finished upgrading to a 7200rpm drive in my MBP sealed up my computer reinstalled the OSX/bootcamp/windows. I'm on my way to re-installing all my old programs when I realize I forgot a few very important files on my old harddrive which is now sitting on my lap.

I don't want to go through the torture of re-installing my old harddrive just to get the few files off.

So I'm wondering if theres any solution to getting some files off my old MBP 2.5" laptop harddrive?

Thanks for any help/names of products which I can get shipped overnight delivery hehe.

Stick the old drive in a cheap USB/SATA housing and you can read anything off it once connected via USB!

Not such a huge problem, don't worry.

why don't you buy an external USB case for it? Costs about 40$ but will let you use your old harddrive as a normal external drive once you've copied over your stuff and formatted it.
