Hi everyone , I am employed as a manager in a firm. I have a problem that I had like to talk about. My system was working fine the other day, but while copying a file by nero….the system hanged and I had to restart it. But I got a disk boot failure error. Then , I tried to run a windows xp installation CD, but that is also showing some error message during installation and the installation fails.I did check the bios settings and the disk fails to show…and had it checked on another system also…but bios cannot detect the hard disk.I think the disk is damaged or something like that.The disk has important data from my company’s point of view…..that I need to recover.
Please let me know if there are any ways to get my data back from this disk!!!!

The A side should show up within a day or three.

XP question in a Mac forum.
Just registered here.
A company manager, with no backups.
Fishy explanation of how it happened - Nero burns optical disks.
Poor english skills.
IP traces to Asian continent.
IP range is loaded with former Q&As, sigs, etc.
Can pull the HD and test in another system, but has no clue about recovery software.

Yep, make that a day or two. I can wait until the reinforcements arrive. It's important to get them all.

So why isn't it locked?

So we can eliminate two birds with one stone and whack BOTH accounts that the A/B poster sets up. Maybe we can detect multiple IPs that have been used and block them both. THEY dropped the bait, but WE're using it to catch (and eliminate) the fish.

Are we using a bobber? free-lining?

I think it's more of an old fashioned cork. And I doubt it will take a long time to reel in our hard drive-commenting visitor. Unless they forget about this set up (it's happened before), I expect we'll have our next input by the weekend.

This probably isn't the type of replies they were hoping for.

Oh yeah. I forgot that my own hard drive just crashed out of the blue. I was compiling data on it with Joe's Super Data Filter and suddenly it just died. I tried Ghost and Norton Utilities and nothing worked. I put the drive in another computer and it still didn't really work. Any ideas on how to recover my work, especially my financial information?

I think that your disk is probably damaged …cannot guess any other reason for failure.There may be some problem in the controllers or can be another thing.The best way is to get a professional team that can recover data from damaged drives . They can be your best resort as they have tools and ways to get the things done.

All the best to you.

LOL! There it is!

2-point shot completed.

Both IPs map to India, btw.

I love it when a plan comes together! Thank you, everyone, for making this so successful an endeavor.

It was fun to watch. I really enjoyed it.
