Hi
We have been having problems with our computer for a while. The hard drive has had to be replaced as the old one was corrupted (a little like us). We have lost all of our documents (and pix) but have been told that they may be able to be recovered. Our IT department at work has offered to take a look and PC World has been recommended but ........... our pix ...... at work ........ or within the public domain..........
Does anyone here know of a discreet IT whizz who may be able to help?

When you say the old one was corrupt, does it still spin, or is it broken?
It is possible to put the old HD into a PC as a slave. You can then access your file without using the old copy of windows, if you are lucky.
If you have a laptop, then you will have to put it in a USB case.
BUT is does depend on what was wrong with it in the first place.

If the drive still spins, corrupt or not, no matter what sort of drive the data can still be extracted easily enough for free and at home.
If the drive no longer spins at all then it has to be sent to a specialist that can take the disks out of the drive and put on a machine to be read but can cost £100's or even £1000's

If it's only corrupted , and the result was window's wouldnt start up should be easy as mentioned to set it to slave and copy all the info across. A very easy procedure you could do at home.(happy to guide)

I know, who polices the police..........
We back up to a separate internal hard-drive and one external, with the massive amount of picture I have it is not possible to back them all up to disc
