hard drive recovery
Sam H asked:


Got back from a trip, loaded pictures and hit the start slide show button, nothing happened, can’t stop, can’t do anything. Feeling tired and short of patient, I pushed the power button thinking I’ll restart the computer. It didn’t reboot and a message telling me to backup my data, my hard drive is in imminant danger or something. I selected restart normally, it didn’t work, tried restart using last known settings, it took about 6 hours and went back to the same screen, I later found out that would’ve damaged my hard drive a lot more. I tried putting in a copy of XP professional to try to cause it to perform checkdisk, it says no TLDR, and went back to the same message about hard drive problem. I tried the recovery disk expecting to find advance option to either install master boot or perform non-destructive system recovery per manuel, found out that it didn’t give me the choice, paniced when I saw partitioning hard drive, I ejected the recovery disk and here I am.

    The partitioning was started on your hard drive it depends on how much damage you did.

    The program does for 30 days if you reinstall windows on old hd then download this free trial that lets you do everything the program does for 30 days if your secondary hard drive then just get back files pdf files videos and stuff put on old hd then download this free trial that regards you probably.
