Droid Backup Assist--Please HELP!

miss_a

I apologize in advance if this is a duplicate thread, but I'm desperate and on a time crunch....

My Droid (the original) decided it would stop working and somehow fried its hard drive; or so that's what the "tech" at my local Verizon branch said. I was really careful and had backup assistant as well as anti-droid theft installed, but now that the phone is trash I have no access to anything (including some very important documents). I am attempting to find someone that could honestly tell me if there is a way to use either backup assistant or anti droid theft to load all of my info that is on my droid to my computer, that is if it's even there at this point. I was unable to back any of the phones files/downloads previous to now because I didn't have a computer until a few months ago... I've been told there are ways to access the files and possibly load them to my computer without the phone itself working, but I have no clue as to how to do this. Could someone please help me out? I'm desperate!

A lot of your data should be on your SD card, the first step would be to pull that out of your phone and use a card reader with your computer to see what all is on it.  As for what is on the internal storage (on the OG droid, that should be minimal), you may be out of luck.  Hopefully you have your contacts synced with gmail, in that case, they will automatically sync with the new phone, as well as your applications (though unfortunately not the data that is associated with those apps).
