Q. I have a dell laptop running vista home premium.
My hard drive crashed and i got it replaced, i was wondering how to get data off my old hard drive.
I have plugged the old hard drive into an external hard drive case and connected it to my computer via usb.
It appears in 'my computer' but when i click on it i can not open it and it sometimes freezes my laptop.
Is there and good hard drive recovery programs that are easy to use? or any other tips to help me?

A. The positive side seems to be that your HDD can still be detected. But if you are not an expert (I certainly am not)...do not attempt to recover the data yourself as you might end up doing more damage. Take it to a data recovery service. They might be able to help you as your HDD is not completely dead, but be warned it is not cheap. Hope my 2 cents helps.

Who knows how to extract data from a bad hard drive?
Q. Hard drive went bad and I need my quickbook files off it. Is it possible to do this, and does anyone know how??
A. it depend on how bad it is. if it will spin up chances are you "may" be able to get data off it. if it clicks and grinds,the chances are not so good. if it wont do anything there is not a chance unless you want to spend thousands of dollars for a professional recovery. there are ways to do it such as replacing the controller board from a drive purchased that the board is still good on but the platters are damaged,etc. this only reenforces the need to make regular back ups so that your important data is preserved.
