When I had redundant hard drives, I bought a external hard drive housing, I put the old drive in there and read/use it from there.......works from a usb port.. |

You could try an external housing or if you have a friendly local computer shop they may help you out - don't go to the big boys because they are a rip off. |

That is interesting Errol cos a friend of mine lost everything from her hard drive the bt engineer apparently erased the lot - is this still recoverable even though she had to buy a new hard drive. |

It depends what the BT engineer actually did but data is very often recoverable. |

I don't know what he did Errol I would have to ask Angie, I know she still has the old hard drive somewhere. |

A crashed hard drive does certainly NOT mean all is lost. Over the years I have had hard drives die many-a-time but have not lost the data. |
