bastya_elvtars n00b Posts: 49 | Well, peeps, my PSU died along with my RAM and had to reinstall windows 2000 after 9 months... in fact the old install is kept. It (the old 1) gives BSODs (inaccessible_boot_device) all the time, regardless of BIOS settings. Can i bring that 1 back somehow? Some recovery consoles or whateva? Cause i really do n ot want to recustomize my new windows. Also i do not wanna install linux, cause my g/f would go mad. |
vickmaker Ametuar Posts: 127 | how did this untimely death occur bro? was your cpu suffering from severe overclockness? or just end of lifetime natural style? i like to give all my hardware a taste of the OC sickness to show them they can do better LOL but like you i have also lost cpu's and ram to quite an obscene amount of gigz, but my chip is rated at 2.4 and runs stable as mable @ 2.55, i wonder if this really does shorten hardware life time or thats just industry hype to increase the paranoia? //v |
bastya_elvtars n00b Posts: 49 | I haven't overclocked it, just the PSU's lifetime was over. Since then i realized there are bad sectors on that HDD, but it's old (15month), so i hesitate whether to use hddregenerator or not. Also would appreciate if you recommended a better tool. |
vickmaker Ametuar Posts: 127 | lol PSU not CPU well thats me an accuracy for ya, they just dont mix!! best tip known on the WWW to retreive data from a snookered hdd is to wrap it up tightly in plastic bags, 2 should suffice, then put in deepfreeze overnight, then prepare your computer to take this drive as a slave, have it all open an stuff as the hdd will heat back up rapidly once it starts sucking on its 5volts, so time is of the essence when you move drive from freezer to pc, this causes the plates to contract due to the cold and 99.9% of the time it will give you enough time to copy all the data from the drive to a new one, (there is a document floating around online called 200 ways to revive an HDD, well i had a hand in compiling this doc from a forum thred on how various users have recovered data successfully from so called broken hdd's and the freezer method was by far the most popular), the last time i used this method it was with a hdd that had 15gb of mp3 on it and i got the lot back this way, also please dont further destroy data using software data recovery as its all pretty shengis, apart from recovering the odd floppy here and there and generally just ruins the data more, gd luck man/ //v ps. try and just use explorer to copy/paste the filez, quickest and most efficient in these circumstances |

bastya_elvtars n00b Posts: 49 | THX, vî¢KMåkè®, i already heard about this freezer method. The HDD itself is not bad, only a few bad sectors. I just do not dare 2 use HDD-Regenerator. |
vickmaker Ametuar Posts: 127 | ahh see, i just had a look on google at a review of the prog, regenerates the bad sectors into new ones LOL , so we will never have another hdd replacement :o tbh i would only use a software option for a test or ultimate last resort when there is no more to lose, gd luck however you go, tc //v |
