Hello chaps and chapettes, this is quickfind:fightsong here....on Kev's PC.

My desktop 'died' last night and we have been trying to recover the data from my hard drive but keep coming up to a brick wall as it says the HD is full....when it isn't. And we can't get access to it.

Kev has suggested reformatting in hope it gives an option to back up what is on the drive prior to it being wiped.....risky I know.

Can anyone suggest anything on what we can do please?

Many thanks in advance.

What tools do you have available?

Try booting from Windows CD, use restore options?

Can you boot with F8 or whatever it is to get to a console? Do chkdsk?

New hard disk and install an OS on it. Plug in the second disk as a secondary device and transfer if you can.
