dennis_582 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Hi people, I have a computer that was working very well, but lately when I was working on a important project, there was a power fluctuation for a couple of times (I thought that was normal) but after the last power fluctuation my computer refused to boot up. There seems to be a failure of some kind…..but I need to get the projects back that are still in that disk.I would be thankful if you could suggest any good tools to get the files and documents back.

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Welcome to the Windows Forum.Since you cannot boot that computer any more, remove the HD and attach it to another computer, then check if you can find your files and documents. You may need to claim ownership of your files and folders if they reside on an NTFS system.If the files are missing due to the crash, Recuva may help you to retrieve deleted files.

sam8540 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 This seems to be a case of disaster recovery. Disaster is just un-avoidable form of error.This cannot be avoided but some precautions can be taken. I think that, as this was due to a power fluctuation, there may be an effect in the working parts of the disk. You should consult a disaster recovery company to get your job done.This can be very frustrating and may be worthless if you try to get the data back by yourself and the situation gets worse.So better take the safe route and get the projects saved in a reliable way. All The Best!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hb_Kai Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Does it not boot up at ALL?If you get the menu come up before properly booting, then try running in DOS mode, locate your files/folders and copy them over to a removable storage device like USB data device or something.Or plug in another hard-drive, and set the one you have your files/folders on as a Slave Hard-drive and it should work then. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seshomaru Samma Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 the easiest and most elegant way is to use this(you will need a CD burner and a blank CD) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
