Six months ago my computer crashed. When I turned my computer on it would not load Windows XP and so I could get into my two hard drive files. As an author and writer of ebooks, I had all my files in two hard disk, without any other backup. At first I panike.Misli of losing all my data files and writings was unthinkable. And I am angry at myself for you to get yourself in this situation.
Have you ever felt fear, fear, and anger associated with losing data you value so much? I started thinking about different ways I could try to get my data. After trying different things, I knew that they could not recover my data by itself. I finally gave in and knew that I need help.
I thought about pulling the hard drives out or taking my computer to a data recovery service. As I looked in the yellow pages and through goggle search for local data recovery computer services, I was able to find a few. I knew it was going to cost me a few dollars, but it takes my information and I needed my computer to do its job.
In the end, I decided to call a computer friend of mine who has done some work for me in the past. After he tried what he could with his knowledge, he could not get the windows open. So, here is what we decided the best course of action:
* Buy a new 120-megabyte hard disk
* Format and install Windows XP on new hard disk on another computer.
* Remove a hard drive C from old computer and install a new hard disk on your old computer
* Copy a file from the disk D, which remained on the old computer to a new hard disk
* Remove drive D old computer and install the disk C
job is completed. With the new hard disk drive is now called G, I now had a C drive with all my old data and drive D with my old data.
there would be many other ways to configure and transfer old hard drive data, but this worked for me and I was happy because I could not access the files.
The cost is $ 150 for my friend and $ 100 for 120 MB of hard disk and about a week of lost productivity.
I do not know what is causing my computer to fail, but I could be a virus. If your computer crashes, can you afford to be a week without your data? As an individual, you can fix it yourself or with a computer expert. For a company computer, you will need the help of data recovery services if you do not have a resident IT person.
