I have some of my photos backed up on Facebook....but there are some choice photos that I'd rather not put up on the internet....haha |

I think it's toast. Then again, I haven't had a chance to get my hands on it. Linux (Knoppix 5.0.1) won't see it, that's a no-go. SpinRite (which apparently also works miracles) can't even deal with it. I had forgotten about the tools on Hiren's boot disc though, I'll let her dad know.
First thing I asked: "Is it a Maxtor drive?" I wasn't surprised to learn that it was.
The wierdest part is that when set as slave in another computer, upon trying to access it it keeps seeking and seeking and seeking and locks up Windows pretty quickly. I'm not sure what to make of that. |

Lisa, I'm so sorry to hear about your computer. I will be of no help, as I know all about how to fix a hard drive, so this is a sympathy post. :(
I would be devastated if my computer crashed, so I feel for you. The pictures would be the most important things that I would be most upset about losing. Pictures are worth a million words.

haha...I would get other people to look at my hard drive, its just that I don't want anyone looking at it except for me. I don't even know what kind of illegal stuff I have on there. If it falls into the wrong hands it could cause me some trouble. Especially since I have some pretty important documents on there.
Oh, and i want all my pron back as well! :D |

Thanks for all the tips guys...I told my dad about this thread and he's gonna see what he can do.
Del, I'm gonna make the CD tonight and I'll let you know if I make any progress. Cale was telling me that he's heard of that before and he totally forgot to mention it to me.
Also thanks for all the sympathy posts! Haha :)
Thanks again everyone!! I've come to terms with the fact that I'm gonna have to redo my projects...but if I can save all my pictures and other data, I'm gonna try every thing I can! Even if it takes weeks. |
