Hard drive failure=data recovery efforts
Does anyone have any ideas on data recovery? This is the first time it has happened to me so I'm kinda lost. Most of the stuff I dont care about and can be replaced, but I had alot of pictures from christmas, and races, etc...... The O/S on the drive that failed was Win98se, my new drive has XP Professional. I set up the old drive as a secondary master and was able to copy some things over in DOS, but it seems now like the drive is dead. Any ideas/suggestions?
thanks andy

There are many ways for data recovery, it just depends what state the drive is in.
Your running FAT 32 most likely on the old win98 drive, and most likely NTFS file system on the XP drive. When you say you copied it in dos, you just did start-run CMD There is no dos prompt or dos built into win XP anymore. Has the heads on the drive crashed? Does it click or make strange sounds? Thats when data recovery gets expensive, but not impossible. Goto CMOS at the bootup of your system and see if the drive is detected, if so find a WIN98 machine and make a boot disk off of it. Boot up w/ the win 98 disk and when you get to dos run a quick scandisk on the crashed drive. after you do that copy what you can over from dos. Skyler

Skyman expained it very well. I work for IT Services for my Goverment for co-op and we do alot of that stuff. He explained it how we would do it for the most part.
