I've been having a tough time...

[Guest]

trying to fix my puter. In the end, it was the time for disaster recovery kit.

I, well... CD-ROM, really, has fixed the problem: Re-installations are almost done.

Now, my news server went dead! LOL

Sorry to hear that, SG. My CD-ROM is so fucked up it was a big gamble going for recovery CD. It was touch and go. I'm never calm until I complete CD-writer software installation.

i recovered all the stuff that i could from it which wasn't any of my mp3's though they were all unrecoverable ... the hard disk now is really slow with the root dir but everything else works fine ... hoping formating it will fix it but i guess the whole thing could be failing which is annoying because its my newer drive

Formatting doesn't "fix" any harware errors to the disk

i know formatting doesn't fix bad sectors thats why im hoping i haven't got any bad sectors ... when i recovered files my hard disk started acting slow in the root directory and the music folder that my mp3's were in the unrecoverable files are still in the music folder and couldn't be deleted

i've done bad sector checks and that said it was fine but im not sure ... its complicated i've been messing around with this on and off few a days

final try is to format and see what happens

Well you'd be better getting the Diagnostics tools from the company's website that manu'd your HDD

Windows scandisk are fairly poor and can often give false readings.

If you've resigned yourself to losing your MP3's then go for it, but if you prefer to try and retrieve them, I can help

thanks i appreciate it but i used norton system tools and chkdsk i had to use chkdsk first because my hard disk had been unmounted as a windows xp disk which norton disk doctor and some other disk recovery program refused to check ... chkdsk has now truncheoned the files so they won't be able to be recovered but i had to use chkdsk because it was the only program that i could run

my sister understands it better she was helping me
