Data Recovery help
To cut long story short, I replaced my old HDD in my laptop with an SSD due to it begging to fail, I believed I had transferred all the photos etc to my NAS box but I hadn't.
Bottom line I have tried booting it up in the laptop but it now wont boot, neither can windows repair the disk, I have tried some recovery software which might do the job but I cant find the exact folder I need which contains videos from my sons birth. Can anyone recommend some comprehensive software - I don't mind paying, or if anyone here is an expert and will help me out for a few beer tokens I would be eternally grateful. Many thanks in advance - |

Re: Data Recovery help
Have you tried using a dock on another pc as it would be less destructive to than running a tool on the drive first.

Re: Data Recovery help
Try a linux live cd or DVD. These are remarkably tolerant to bad sectors on windows disks.
They can mount windows FAT or NTFS partitions fine. You should then be able to copy stuff off to another drive. |

Re: Data Recovery help
Which recovery software have you tried?
I tried a few when trying to recovery Chris numbers photo's from his failed HDD, some were better than others! But his drive was buggered I've still got these programs & a USB lead to connect it to a laptop. I managed to recover some photos although a lot were corrupted. I'm no expert!

Re: Data Recovery help
