Data Rescue from HD
My desktop HD seems to have crashed. I cannot boot to it at all. My
laptop HD has started to make clunking noises, and it fails after about 15-20 minutes. I've been able to get some data off the laptop by copying it to a USB Flash drive before the hard drive starts clunking. I bought a new laptop. Now I want to rescue the data on the desktop and the other laptop. Is there a way I can use my new laptop to connect to the other machines and read the data on their hard drives? Thanks! Awaiting your responses with baited breath, I remain, yours truly, *((( |

Data Rescue from HD
You would need to have the HD's on either a functioning PC or placed in an
external HD caddy With your desktop, you could test the HD by visiting the HD manu web site and downloading, creating their HD checking utility boot up floppy If your data is valuable to you - probably not as you dont have backups- you may have to resort to a data recover specialist which is expensive. If so you should not attempt to use these HD's "*(((" wrote in message ... My desktop HD seems to have crashed. I cannot boot to it at all.

Data Rescue from HD
My data is important to me. That's why I had one copy on the desktop
computer and another copy on the laptop. They served as a backup for each other. With both of them on the blink, however, a problem has arisen ... So I can't use a usb cable or ethernet cable to connect the crashed computer(s) to my new laptop and access their hard drives from my new laptop? *((( On Fri, 18 Aug 2006 11:15:23 +0100, "DL" address@invalid wrote: You would need to have the HD's on either a functioning PC or placed in an external HD caddy With your desktop, you could test the HD by visiting the HD manu web site and downloading, creating their HD checking utility boot up floppy If your data is valuable to you - probably not as you dont have backups- you may have to resort to a data recover specialist which is expensive.
