• Satellite A100 - hard drive data recovery

  Hello

  I recently tried to help a friend for his Toshiba Satellite A100 data recovery, died on this screen.
  I thought this would be a task simply remove the hard drive and put a HARD drive caddy and attaching it to another computer.

  This doesn't seem to work.
  Can I put the hard drive in the computer and I can hear start the computer to the top and was able to see it with a LCD display. I was able to delete the data in this way, so we're safe.

  My question is why do we seem to remove the disc and see on another computer?
  I guess it must be an interface or format the laptop can be used for the recovery section and cannot therefore be seen as a normal drive.

  If I could not delete the data because say the motherboard is dead. Is it possible to be able to see the data on another computer.

  > My question is why do we seem to remove the disc and see on another computer?

  Of course you can do if you want to use a symbol external USB SATA controller (external HARD drive) you should be able to connect to another computer.
  But if the HARD drive is faulty, it will not work.

• Advice needed on the laptop hard drive data recovery.

  Hello

  I was wondering if someone could provide some advice on the recovery of data from an ACER laptop which was held in Microsoft Vista?

  The laptop broke due to the 'PIN' inside the power supply's cable breaking. PC World said that it would cost hundreds of pounds to repair.

  I have some important files saved on the drive hard (backup files conveniently failed too!) and I'd like back them.

  What are my options? Should I seek professional IT useful to do? Or I can try to get files back myself? I currently have a Toshiba laptop that works under XP.

• Installed hard drives data recovery serial

  As many other users on these boards, by X 205 won't start.

  My question: How can I recover the data on my hard drive, since there are two of them?

  I ran a search to find all the files I wanted (*.jpg in this case) and the search came back with hundreds of files (pictures) that I'm trying to recover... but it wont let me open them.
  I guess because the disks are installed in this machine series, somehow, I need to find a way to read them both to access these files?

  Any help is appreciated!

  Remove each disk of the machine, connect using 2.5 SATA box at the other PC as external device and you should have access to all stored data.

• Damaged hard drive data recovery

  My computer has started in an infinite reboot loop. After all else failed I replaced the reinstalled hard drive master cd. Now I try my old hard drive slave. I installed it and trying to explore my computer tells me I need to format it. I didn't thik I deleted anything on the old hard drive. It comes as Disk (I) Local what software can I use to get down the hard drive damaged my old photos and others.

  Thanks for the reply. I found a repair shop who told me they could get all my photos and others out of it for me. At a cost of $25 to $ 75. I cannot yet understand is happening other that some security software that my Bank suggested I have download. Once I downloaded it the safety scanner Microsoft occupy one would not work. After speaking with the support of software (Trusteer report) I managed to uninstall the software, but the next day after uninstall the system just kept in a boot loop. Nothing works. I don't know that I erase what either, so I should be able to get my family photos.

  Thanks again

• How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery

  How can I make a DVD of the restore hidden in my external hard drive partition recovery because I want to recover my toshiba satellite L840 that does not respond directly to my hard drive so I put my laptop to an external HARD drive and then I want to copy a DVD recovery partition

  Your question is a bit confusing, you can boot the laptop at all? Have you tried booting in safe mode, you can make a recovery DVD set from there, the folder Toshiba.

  With the drive in the Toshiba, you should be able to use a F, F10, F11, or F12 key to activate the installation from the partition hidden started upward.

  Otherwise, you can contact Toshiba, and with the model of the product id number and the laptop for Windows, you can buy a set of disks.

• Question Equium L350 - 10L new HARD drive and recovery

  Hi all.

  My L350 - 10L has a HD death. Just does not start. I tried the HARD drive recovery system, but after it formatted the HD I got a message saying that the image file is corrupted. I removed the HD and connected to my desktop to save personal files (before I tried the recovery) and there were real issues reading the disc. I got most of the documents & E-mail eventually (had to run a lot of check disk runs using a 3rd party disk partition software). I think that the drive is actually physically damaged somehow.

  I'll need to buy a new set of Toshiba recovery disks (too long a story to explain, but it's basically my fault), but my main question is this: if I buy a new HD still recovery disks to restore my system to its original state even if it isn't the original HD? There, I guess I mean will the recovery discs recreate the 3 partitions - WinRE (Hidden), Vista C: and D: data and set the correct boot and information industries? And I suppose that a secondary question who would be the HD should be the same size as the original one (120 GB said / 111GB actually)?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  > Over there, I guess I mean will the recovery discs recreate the 3 partitions - WinRE (Hidden), Vista C: and D: data and set the correct boot and information industries?
  The Toshiba Recovery disk will define the laptop (and HARD drive), the factory settings.
  This means that the recovery DVDs will format the whole HARD drive and it will create the partitions and all the rest as on the first day of purchase.

  I hope I could bring a precision...

  Do not wipe the hard disk, unless you want your recovery disks will perform a quick format of the HARD drive before installing the OS, etc.

• has got the biggest hard drive, can I transfer old install to the new drive?

  C: space too small

  My Windows XP Professional is installed on a 10 GB hard drive, there is little room left. I added an external drive more and would like to move the system to the largest disk. I don't have a installation disc. Can I transfer the system and applications to the new drive without losing any functionality and maybe use the old drive (C :) to store data.

  Its not so easy.  It is best to get rid of some of the files on the old drive and move the data files to the new drive.  Try to go first to start | Programs | Accessories | System Tools | Disk Cleanup.  Then you can move locations of various data, such as temporary Internet files (in Internet Explorer go to tools |) Internet Options | Settings and click the folder to move and which will move this place).  If you use OE, first back up your messages (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#6) and then put in place a new directory on the new drive to something like D:\OESTORE and then go to tools | Options | Advanced | Maintenance | Store the folder and click the button change and set it as the new location.  Then close and reopen OE (DO NOT MOVE MESSAGES yourself! as he will destroy them) and the location must be moved.

  For other space saver, try to do a backup on the new disk directory and copy all update backups that were made (the Blues subdirectories in the Windows directory) and the Windows\inf directory that you can completely roll over to the new drive for backup purposes and you may need to browse to it, if you install a new device , but which will save a lot of space. (the above two suggestions require that you go to control panel |) Folder options | View and activate display files and hidden folders, enable showing protected and OS files and disable the option Hide extensions of known file types).  Move also on other data such as images, documents, music to the new drive.

  So if you have lots of space on C, defrag it.

  But just copy through the old drive to the new and try to start on the new one is unlikely to work.

• Hard drive failure; Recovery Console error

  Yesterday my computer was at the peak of its performance. Shut it down normally, defragged every day and no blue screen in 5 years. Then BAM! It says "the following file is missing or corrupt: C:\WINDOWS\system32\Config\system" before even starting up screen lights up. So I searched the Internet for answers on my laptop and found the recovery via the installation CD Console. I will, and I do a CHKDSK/p. He said unrecoverable damage or permanent, which is confusing because it is 6 months old (replaced HD because the former was too small). So I try to use the CD command that was given by most of the sites, then I get an error message saying "the path or file specified is not valid" for anything I type in. Can someone help me please, it's too sudden and weird.

  Your hard drive is dead. If you want to get data off of it, the only thing to do is now to send it to a professional data recovery company. I use a Drive Savers for my clients. It is quite expensive, running anywhere from $500 to $ 3,500 with an average of $2,700. Some insurance companies cover data recovery so check with yours.

• Usb drive data recovery software

  Suggest me a data recovery software that can help me get my files lost from my USB. Cheap and best is my expectation!

  Try these, they are free:

  http://www.SnapFiles.com/get/Recuva.html

  Recuva is a file undeletion tool that allows you to analyze your hard drives or media cards for files that have been deleted or formatted. It presents you a list of files that have been found, as well as an assessment of their potential for recovery, a preview option, and a hex viewer to inspect the content. You can limit your search to files of a certain type (e.g. images, audio etc.) and choose between a quick and a thorough analysis approach. The program also includes a secure deletion option that allows you to permanently delete files that were found while parsing, to avoid any future recoveries.

• Hard drive data from the sector error on desktop HP Pavilion magnesium grey Edition p6404y

  I have a HP Pavilion p6404y desktop computer. I uninstalled and reinstalled the HP Support Assistant. When I run the wizard it tells me this - "WDC WD10 EADS-65M2B1 CMSS Disk Device-4 errors in data sectors make unusable sector." He suggested I have a scanner. If I run the quick scan, it ends and shows just as fine. If I run a full scan, it reaches 62% complete (i.e. 99% of the "left foot" criterion) and seems to freeze. I left alone for two hours to get that last percent of this test, then I just give up and cancel, so I was not able to complete a full scan.

  Also, often, when I start my computer first, I get a screen that says: "one of your disks should be checked for consistency.

  Then, he turns his thing and says it is finished and then starts.

  It seems to be very slow all the time, too.

  I also, lately, get a box saying my performance is slow, I want to move from Windows Aero to Windows basic to help performance.

  So I wonder, my hard drive takes a dump, or what? This system is only two years old.

  Thank you!

  Hi techrex, I would say by restarting and pressing F9 to enter the Diagnostics screen and run diagnostics on your HARD drive.  If you get an error I'd say calling HP support to see what they suggest - could be that your HARD drive is on its way.

  If this is the case, immediately save all your work, photos, emails, etc..  Make your recovery DVD (press F11 at startup and have up to 4 ready virgins of DVD quality to make your recovery disks.

  If you need to replace the HARD drive yourself, it will be easy to recover the PC with your recovery discs.

  Remember: use esd protection and always disconnect your PC from the network if you plan to open the chassis and replace the HARD drive or perform another task on your PC, like blowing any dust with a can of compressed air.

  I would like to know if this suggestion helps.
