I'm officially in mourning. My hard drive is DEAD, DEAD, DEAD. Just years of photographs...gone.
All of my bird photos...including egrets, herons and local birds. And my critters. Autumn photos. My full frame shots from the white mountains. Ok, I'm done.
@thereg001 I tried the programs and I tried a "pro". I'm not prepared to spend money I don't have to go any further, though I might make some calls just to get an approximation of what it might cost.
@Lindy can we slave drive it to recover the data? I used to design at home and lost a major profect..so I thought. Spent 125 without success then found a way to link it and copy the data. @thereg001
@damselfly59 link it? I drive a car, but I'm no mechanic (I've heard it said). I can read instructions, though. @thereg001
@Lindy so if the hard drive OS crashes you can take it out and add it to a working pc as a second drive. All the data is there and can be copied to a portable back up drive @thereg001
Sorry for delay. Weekdays i check in on breaks and lunch pst on coso cuz y'all keep me happy.🤗
@Lindy OK I’m late to the conversation. It really depends on what went wrong with the hard drive and the tools that the third-party people use.
Without throwing false hope. I was able to recover data from a drive that the computer couldn’t read from or boot by sticking it in the freezer for 24 hours. Then keeping it “frozen cold” as I access it from an external drive adapter. Again, professionals have better tools.
