yes. just grab a 2.5inch Hard Disk enclosure. It will connect to your desktop via usb/firewire and show all the contents.
The cheap ones($20) usually have poor heat dissipation, so don't melt your disk in hopes of saving a few bucks.

it sounds like you still want to use the laptop, even though your lcd display is broken. If you have a VGA/DVI output on your laptop, you can connect your laptop to a regular monitor, and use that as your display.

like Suspicion said, those enclosures work fine. If you know a bit about computers, there are also the laptop to IDE converter wires where you can plug your laptop hard drive inside your computer. Those run a little bit cheaper than the enclosure devices.

good luck.

thanks alot. found some good looking enclosures on on amazon but even the expensive ones dont cost much more than 20 bucks i will probably check the reviews and grab the best one for that price

yes my notebook has vga output.. but does it work plug and play?

or do i have to switch the monitors under display's controll settings?
