on my old computer my c drive completely crashed because of a dodgey disk that may have had a virus on it. anyway. i had some very important stuff on the c-drive and there was absolutely no way whatsoever that i could get any of it back!!! when we took it back to the guy who made it (who runs a succesful computer bussines and we know very well (so it wasn't dodgey)) he put in a new hard drive and installed xp and loads of other updates.
At first the computer had next to nothinng on it and everything had to be re-installed. although he did give us the old hard drive and told us that there is ways you can retreive files and put them onto your computer, how on earthdo you do that??? my computer is running fine and i don't really want to have to put in this old hard drive and mess about with it, so is there a way that i can put this hard into and older computer and load these files onto disk and do it that way?????
be very grateful if anyone could help
If not then as Turbo said it could be obtained if you add the disk as a slave. Also if that dosn't work out then maybe a data recovery program such as http://www.ontrack.com/easyrecoverydatarecovery/ could help but you would have to pay for the full version to get all your files back.
Might be worthwhile just checking the ribbons etc to make sure that they aren't damaged and trying to work out why the disk "crashed" to begin with.
However if your haddrive has physically failed then don't hold out much hope.
Although don't quote me on it.
