My laptop has been showing the error 3F0 Boot Device Not Found or Hard Disk Error for quite some time. I want to be able to access my hard drive in order to restore an old iPhone back up because a lot of my old contacts and pictures corrupted. Just wanting to know what I need to do in order to get it working again. 

Thanks!

If you remove the laptop drive and connect it to a working PC, you might be able to do what you want.

 

You will need an adapter like this to connect the drive to another PC:
