By dead do you mean that they don't boot up, or...?

If they do boot up, you can place the drive in an external box and connect via USB. Such a box can be had from Fry's, etc. (see below).

If they don't boot up, I was TOLD you can do that, but I literally just tried this last week and it didn't work. The drive would not show the files...it wanted me to format the drive, which would of course erase all the data. What you CAN do is insert a copy of Puppy Linux (puppylinux.org) into the CD drive, boot up in RAM, and then look at the files. That worked for me.

I need to get this done. Luckily I just have one!
