My old computer crashed. Is there any way I can attach a cable to transfefr data files?

My old HP m7557c system crashed. Recovery won’t work. Says I am “missing DLL files to load the kernal”. I need to transfer data files from the old hard disk to the new laptop. Is there any way I can use a cable to attach the old computer to my new one in order to transfer files (like a thumb drive)?

Knoppix is a Linux distro that boots entirely off a CD or DVD but it can then read the disks and everything. I’ve had to this a whole bunch of times for people.

Burn a Knoppix disc, boot the crashed computer from it. An actual OS will load and you’ll have a start menu, web browser, and everything.

Open up the provided file manager, plug in an external hard drive or USB thumb drive and copy all your data from the local discs to the removable device.

Wipe discs on crashed machine and clean install the OS. Put your data back on either machine when you’re done.

This is exactly what GeekSquad or anybody would do but they’d charge you $200 – $350 for it. Insane!
