Restore My Files : Information & Data Recovery

Friend’s harddrive forcing restart.?

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:56:29 +0000

What do you guys think could cause this and what can I try to fix it? I’m helping out a friend and right now his harddrive (when put into my pc cause his nolonger works) comes up with the safe mode or normal windows options in DOS. Anything I choose causes the computer to reboot. He wants me to save the files on the harddrive so anybody know any good freeware harddrive recovery programs or something?
I took out my harddrive and am just using his as primary. i’ll try doing slave if it can.

You will never be able to successfully boot the OS of his hard drive on your PC because each computer has a different and unique hardware ID. His OS will keep on looking for his computer’s ID.

Just connect it as a slave and boot from your original hard drive then copy his data to your hard drive. Once you have copied his files, check his hard drive for errors. This can be done under Tools tab of the Drive Properties.

After checking for errors, you can put his hard drive back to his computer and reinstall the operating system. You may also want to reformat the drive prior to the re-installation so you can start clean.

Meanwhile, it is also a good practice to have 2 separate partitions on a hard drive: one for the operating system and programs and the other for data. This way, if something goes wrong with the operating system and you need to reformat, your data will not be affected.

How can I do system recovery without a recovery cd?

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:17:38 +0000

I have a HP pavillion dv6000 laptop. I did a system recovery and everything seemed to have worked okay. I hibernated my laptop and when I turned it on a system error appeared and said that I must insert the recovery cd.

It said that I can request a recovery cd from HP, but the problem is my cd drive is broken. Is it possible to somehow put the recovery disk on a usb drive and run it from there or something?

Thanks for any help.

Try this and see if this will help: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-22_11-5928902.html , you will need to acquire that recovery cd from HP and create an image of the cd from someone else’s computer using IMGBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/ , then youll need a virtual drive drive to mount the OS: http://www.slysoft.com/en/virtual-clonedrive.html , that will make the image act like the cd without really using the cd to create a USB boot OS to repair the original. Just follow the instructions of the first article I sent. The reason I give this long winded route is so that you can use the image more than once if necessary that and you have some extra tools to mess around with if you need to make a recovery USB drive rather than a full blown OS on the drive itself.

If I jailbreak my iPod touch, and then restore it with iTunes, will the data I have from my apps be deleted?

I want to jailbreak my iPod touch 3rd gen to see what’s it’s like when tethered. But when I restore it will it delete my app data? Like all my saved game progress?

As long as its backed up? No.
However, my phone is soooooo cool jailbroken.
But if you need to keep the jailbreak use this:

Thank You very much!

Yes you can if it’s not so old that it’s no longer supported. You’ll need to have the model number an then go to the hp order page here:

You have to order them online and they send them to you in about a week through regular mail .They’ll cost you around $ 15.

How to restore hard drive from created backup Recovery Discs?

admin — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:11:12 +0000

I created Recovery discs to backup my hard drive. I was prompted to create a set of five discs but some error prevented me from creating the last one. Hope that won’t show to be an issue later.

Now, my system crashed and I need to get all my data back, but am unsure of the steps to take to do so from the recovery discs. Can you tell me how and anything things else I might need to know? Thanks so much!

Did you put the first recovery disc in the cd/dvd drive & reboot the computer & see if it allows you to boot off the cd? If nothing happens then you will need to go into the bios & see if its set to boot the cd first then the hard drive.

If this is set correctly, then you probably didn’t make the boot cd. Since you had an error, its possible you will still have issues.

I have a Toshiba a135 S4527 and I need a recovery disk for it. If you could tell me who I call or what website I order it from it would be really nice. Thank you.

If you are running windows vista there is an option to create a recovery disc. Thats what mine has. Otherwise if you have to order a recovery disc it will run you around 200. dollars
