1) Can I use this laptop to verify that the desktop hard drives are ok?
2) How can I retrieve the data from the hard drives? Can I move data to external hard drive?
Thanks for any help you may provide.

I just had a very unexpected flood in my basement. My Dell desktop got water up to 2 inches of the MB including the sound card. The computer was on at the time. The hard drive and backup slave were not close to the water. It makes no sense to try to fix the damage but I do need the data on the hard drive and put it on a new computer (laptop probably). I do have a 3yr old laptop that I'm using now.

Thanks for getting back.
It looks like I have IDEs. I will hunt for the 3.5" external USB enclosure. I hope using it is as easy as you indicate.
You're right about backing up. I will take your advice.
Thanks again.
