    Unhappy new mobo, nothing works, need way to backup files

     
    Dell just recently installed a new motherboard in my crap-top because of a whole bunch of things wrong with it. They "reccomend" that i re-install windows since its a new motherboard. I have important files on the stupid laptop that i cant backup. I dont have a floppy drive, cd burner, networking doesnt work (cant get online). Nothing works. I bought a USB thumbdrive and it doesnt recognize it. The computer im on now recognizes it. My USB optical mouse works on the laptop but the thumb drive doesnt... Ethernet port doesnt work, my windows xp is screwed. In system properties/hardware/ device manager there is not a thing there. Usually it says i have a cpu, but i guess i dont (haha). I need a way to backup the files!

    This will allow you to connect your lappy hdd to a desktop, BU the files, and load your OS.
