Restore My Files : Information & Data Recovery

I used to have a ubuntu pc but the MB broke, i took the HDD and need the data, i have a windows pc now, and i would switch HDDs’ but the PC’s are totally different, the ubuntu came off of a AMD 3200 and the Micrsoft Winxp i have now has (Dell)Intel running it.

My question is how do i resolve my problem without losing any data or buy another AMD 3200? so that i may retrieve the data?

thx and please help

I usually use SystemResuceCD, which is a Linux Live CD that contains a number of tools for fixing and recovering data.

You would need to boot the Live CD, mount the hard drive, and then you could copy the files to a USB or wherever you wanted on your computer. If you want to copy it to your Windows Partition, you would also have to mount your windows hard drive.

use asoftech photo recovery pro, it helped me many time to recover photos, videos, documents.

A few months ago I tried to install OS X on my Toshiba Sattelite.I got it fixed, but the guy said what I installed removed Vista.My question is, is the HDD recovery still there, and can I use it to get my laptop back to normal?

To install OS X on a hard drive that had Windows first means you would had have to reformat your entire hard drive (or whatever partition you are using). Everything you had on it before the formatting is gone. You will have to reinstall Vista from the DVD.

I want to format this HDD, and install windows 7,

But I was wondering, that if I wasnt happy with windows 7, would the recovery disks still be able to work (even though I have wiped the HDD before I installed Win7) so that I can install vista back onto the system?

Thanks!!

Okay I am assuming that you got a pc with a pre installed system(vista).
all right so the manufacturer made two partitions. "C:" and "recovery"
so if you’re planing to install the new system(win 7) try not to erease the entire disk just the partition where windows vista is installed in this case "C:"

I was not supplied with Windows Vista Home Premium CD. But my Compaq laptop came with Genuine Vista Home Premium Pre installed along with a partition named Recovery. How will I Re install My Genuine OS and Re partition My Hard disk? Please suggest me.

Today my friend posted on Facebook that he anccidently may have wiped his HDD. I am wondering what is the best freeware to recover his data?

Don’t know about freeware that would do it, but the one I found seems to be a good deal.

Windows XP in the HDD won’t boot. Inserting system disk -no effect. Display says " disk failure".
Anybody, please help. I forgot to backup. I have no recovery media either.

remove the HDD and connect it to another computer via a USB adapter.

HDD died on me so have got a replacement coming tomorrow. I have a toshiba recovery disk which worked fine on previous hard drive. Just wondering if this will work on the new one or if I’ll need to shell out for new OS?

no problems for a recovery disc,since it’s being use on the computer that it came with

I have a recovery disk for a Optima XP computer but want to reformat another computer. Am I right to just use this disk?
On the CD it says "The software included on this Recovery DVD was pre-installed on your HDD at the factory"

Does that mean anything?

no do not, if u use a recovery cd for one computerand the other computer is a different brand it would not take it and then if it does about half -way through the recovery all ur files will be deleted and an error will come up syaing something so dont use it on anohter computer

I need to know how can I fix or download or buy the system

T60 should have a recovery partition, restore XP from there.
If not get a recovery CD:
