In order to transfer your files from your laptop hard drive to your computer, you have to buy an 2.5" external hard drive enclosure (either IDE or SATA) depending on your hard drives' spec. You will then insert the laptop hard drive into this enclosure, and with the USB connector on the enclosure, you will connect it to the computer you want to transfer/copy your file to.

Another option is to connect the laptop directly to your computer, but you will need an adapter from 2.5"-to-3.5" IDE connector. This will allow you to connect the hard drive directly to the motherboard inside your case.
