IBM Thinkpad 600e recently brought... (tr computers regretably)
Had a few blue ascreens the other night, ctrl alt del caused the pc to
hang so I slid the reset swtcih now on boot up I'm getting the lined HDD
graphic with a small arrow pointing to F1, presing F1 I get 2 rows of
numnbers 19990301 or similar. Apparently it's searching for the HDD
MBR which I can't recreate either with fdisk /mbr.
I'm told the hdd is 99% deceased and I'm not paying œ180 to have the hdd
professionally recovered obviously.
I know about certain disk recovery software like get data back and lost
and found which I can't run for certain reasons.. Is there any good dos
software which can be put onto a CDR and run from the cd rom drive to
hopefully at least get back into the HDD and run format even if I can't
recover files etc ?
Also if anyone has an old 2.5 inch 10GB (laptop) hdd they don't want let
me know, did'nt reazlize how easy it is to swop over hdd's on a laptop!
Send SB if you prefer. Thanks in advance
