I have a laptop with a bad screen. I have been trying to access the hard drive using an adapter board and a usb but it is not showing up in my computer or even device manager. Any idea how i can access it ?
 
pull the drive from the laptop and use a sata to usb connector .. as far as accessing it if its password encrypted we are not allowed to assist you in subverting drive security.
