Recovering Files From Laptop - System Reserved

[TheScribeD]

My laptop recently died on me (I suspect it's the HDD as it suddenly started displaying a no bootable device message when I turn it on). I'm going to send the laptop in to be serviced by my warranty company, but first I want to try to pull all of my files off of the HDD.

I bought a cable to connect my laptop's HDD to my desktop via USB, but it only detects 'system reserved.'

Is it still possible to get my files from this HDD?

"System Reserved" is just the boot manager partition. It seems the main Windows partition (where your files were saved) has gone.
