My notebook I've been using exclusively the last 9-10 months or so died on me yesterday. I am pretty sure it was a hard drive failure as it kept erroring and giving me a blue screen then a crash and got to where I couldn't do anything this week. I tried re-installing windows and it wouldn't copy all the files over.. I formatted the HD
because I thought maybe it was a file ownership problem, but it continued to get worse to where it won't even boot to the hard drive at all now... all email, files, username/passwords, etc is all gone
I can boot to the hard drive using the XP cd, but nothing else... if you know of a program that can retrieve info from an NTFS partition that has been formatted... please let me know.
I'm gonna order another hd, replacement is ~$100, but until I get it in I won't be on unless I'm using this old server I have at home and it's a pain
Say LA VEE, eh Charles?
