Buy a hard drive housing. (like this... http://buy.maplin.co.uk/Free_UK_Deliver ... 139_v2.htm )
Take a screwdriver to old laptop.
Remove hard drive.
Insert hard drive in to the new hard drive housing.
Throw rest of old laptop away.

She now has a portable, external hard drive. I've still got a hard drive from an old laptop in a housing. After taking everything off that I needed I reformatted it and just use it as extra storage space.

She can also take this as a warning that she should have backed everything up anyway because instead of the power connector breaking it could have been the hard drive itself!
