Damn laptop hard drive



  FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU
Found out yesterday that it is fucked:mad: , getting picked up next week and sorted by pc world. So I lose everything and am stuck on my parents pc in the kitched for a few weeks:dapprove:
 
  FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU
Its got a pc world guarantee extra thing, so it will all be sorted for free. Yeah powered up once then the blue screen of doom appeared. From then on it would load, and when in bios it could find the hard drive, like it wasn't there.

If it powers you should be able to get the data from it. Make sure you get anything you need off it and they don't just install a new build before you get the data.
 
  FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU
It wont load up windows, just goes to starting the hard drive or what ever and fails. Can't see anyway of getting to windows.

You don't need to get into Windows to recover the files. They can 'slave' the drive up to another system and get the data from it before they rebuild it.

This has happened twice in 2 years to me. The hard drive develops "radiant bad sectors" (whatever they are?) and develops an error in a "HAL DLL" file which doesent allow you to access the contents of the hard drive. Total pisser :mad:
 
  FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU
I've got it back now, and it says I need to use a packard bell recovery disk, but I don't have one of these. It just loads, has the screen where you can choose to go to bios then it goes into some error.
