My system is crashed...How to recover data..HELP???

[kimberthomas]

Can someone help me to find a step by step procedure on how to recover lost data if your computer crashes?
I would like to know if anyone knows how to recover lost data from a computer that crashed or a recovery tool or a web site that offers that information.
thanx

When you say computer crash, do you mean the computer no longer turns on anymore?

[edwardwilliam]

It seems as if ur system is totally crashed...

Here are the steps that can help u to recover the data. You have to use some tool to recover the data.

1. Install a recovery tool on some other system
2. Now place ur crashed disk as a secondary disk on this other system
3. Select ur crashed disk from the partition and scan with the recovery tool to recover the data.
If u wanna give try then I can suggest you 1 such tool that I used once "Trash My Hard Drive". You can try the trial version....and if satisified can purchase it.

If the PC will turn on but not boot then you should be able to boot to a Linux live Cd/DvD and copy files over to a junp drive.

another hit-and-run post

i wonder what the ip's and locations of these users are. i was getting flooded with Russian bots until i banded russia all together on my site.

[booman]

that sucks too because what if there was one person in russia that liked your site? Then the'll never get to post on it.
I think these posts are real people, but they are desperate and just post their one question and forget about it.

[ThunderRd]

They're not real people, boo. Just look at the names. Computer-generated random names, all in the same format. kimberthomas. edwardwilliams. another one in another thread, davidhernandiz, all the same M.O.

One posts a problem, and the other one plugs a software title.

[bonesaw]

those are some advance bots

[booman]

yeah, tell me about it.
How do they sign up, use the activation email link and then post all from a spamming bot server code?

[booman]

also, edwardwilliams posted a valid reply about hard drive recovery. Why would a bot post that?

Advanced stuff for spammers, given their general lack of intelligence.

Must have taken them years to work out the 20 lines of script needed.

I'd go with people, just 'cos it's cheaper to throw somebody in poorer parts of the world a dollar per post than it is to keep a potty-trained programmer on the payroll.

[MUff1N]

I'm with TR on this...has the smell of bots to me!
The first red flag is another posting a reply that isn't a "real" member of the AOA forum.
You watch, the next post will point to a site that is infected with Malware or to a software program that costs $$$ to solve the problem.

Really irritating, like a mosquito flying around your ears...

[ThunderRd]

Well. whether bots or humans, they aren't "real" posts and we should ignore them...

[Daniel ~]

You folks do realize that we are discussing weather or not a poster in our forums is human or machine?

I think that's pretty interesting!

The product / website plugged in the 3rd posting looks like its hosted in Oz. The product may work really well but spamming groups and wasting everyones time isn't going to convince me or, I suspect, anyone else.

Robots ? Humans ? Vogons ? - who cares - if this is the best they can do to market their products I don't want to find out what their programming is like !

[Gizmo]

I like their new product name better......

[dabaerman]

the question remains; how will I attempt to recover data from an otherwise not recognized hard drive.
working on the part where I can SEE the other drive. as in Linux!

OK, now what? how and where do I move/put that data (WIN XP) so it can be SCANNED before returning it to the newly formatted hdd and fresh install of the OS?

[danrok]

Do you have another drive which is the same?

If so, you can try swapping over the PCB, and see if it works again.
