I've got this SATA hard drive in my desktop that has failed. I can hear it spin but it won't boot. I've tried to boot up using this drive in another PC but that doesn't work either.

What I would like to do is somehow copy everything on this drive to another. Is there anything I can do?
 
if you have a external enclosure you could throw it in that and see if it works. if youre sure it's dead then then you could put it in the freezer. that worked on some bad ram i had.
 
Do as phil said, or you could get a USB converter to connect the hard drive - not sure which is cheaper.

What is the error message you are getting? Could it be a bad boot record?
