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.

• 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.

  Hello

  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.

  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.

• HP 2000: How to retrieve the memory of the old hard drive?

  Hello. Recently, I replaced my old hard drive with another because that is a malfunction that made sure I got stuck in a loop start and nowhere else after auto repair. I was told that if I buy a hard drive enclosure that I might have a possibility to recover my old data to my new in copying and pasting on, several sources on the internet said this as well.

  So when I put my old hard drive in the enclosure and that connected to my laptop, it pulls up. But it gives me a folder named "Recovery". Inside is another folder named 'WindowsRE' with a few other components. In which is a file named "WinUCRD.wim". I've been looking around for what I can do with it. The only thing I can find is a program called Windows SIM, it does not matter where, and I don't know how to use it.

  My question is, how can I recover my data from my old data? I honestly don't mind if my new hard drive memory is overwritten. He barely anything on it as I just got. I have files important school in there I can not risk losing. I have to start all over again before final in a few weeks.

  

  The partition you are looking at is the recovery Partition.  This is for the recovery of your operating system, not the user tour data.  Looking at your screenshots I suggest you look at the F: drive, he can have the files you need.

  If the F: drive is corrupted migh you take a look at a data recovery program.  I had good success with Easus Data Recovery, it allowed me to recover files to a friend after a drive failure when no other program, that I tried would work.  Here, there is a free version that will recover up to 2 GB of data.
