Is it possible to slave a laptop HDD(which is fully functioning) to another computer without removing it from the laptop?

I have system recovery software that can "see" the mapped drive, but it won't let me scan it because it is not actually connected. It's a DELL and it's a laptop and I don't really want to(feel comfortable with) take it apart..

I'm so sure I can do this and just can't think how..

thanx.

both comps are running xp, could also have the one trying to recover data as a vista OS but, the recovery sofwtare I found is only for xp ( PC inspector)


(a database file was deleted from a shared folder, and so doesn't appear in recycle bin to recover. I'm open to other solutions but I know the thing is still there at the moment and I think this is the best way to go about getting itback)
