Data Recovery Index

I just installed a new hard drive into my Toshiba laptop and I put in the Recover cd to format my new hard drive with my computers factory drivers and programs. The cd boots up and asks me to continue, then makes sure that I know my hard drive will be erased, and I select continue. When I do this the cd loops back around to the first question and starts over again and does this every time.

hi kayla, to make a computer work correctly you must have a good database and a good knowledge base so what has happened is that when you placed your knew hard drive in your computer your knowledge base was lost although you have a good data base this is very easy to understand but very hard to explain so to make your computer work correctly i recommend that you take your laptop to a computer repairman and explain to him that you installed a new hard drive and that you would like it if he erased your petition to install a new petition so that when your system is returned it will work right with the new drivers. good luck hope i was helpful to you

Recently I had a hard drive go out on me. Tried literally 10 programs before using Active Undelete. By far the best program. Will search for lost partitions from ages ago, and makes it easy to search through them for particular files or file types.

It really depends on how the sectors were written over. It will tell you the status of each file – how ‘recoverable’ they will be.

Make sure to recover to a different hard drive. You increase your risk of losing this data as you write more data over it. In hindsight, the best thing would have been to pop it into another computer and run the software before formatting it – but I understand it can be difficult to do that in some cases.

you need to call your comp manufacturer for a replacement.
can’t be done without it. you also need to back up your data, all of it .you can make a backup of all your drivers on a dvd disk before formating. otherwise backup the rest of your data to disks or an external hard drive. and you will still need the manufacturers disk..sorry!

How do you format your Hard Drive without a recovery disk?

Ok I got a Windows XP install ISO File from a Torrent. It is a free student edition used to teach and its legal. It said to burn it to a cd using Nero. I got a Nero Demo and burned a CD with it. It says when you boot it up in the drive it should start the installation process, but nothing happens. I wanna know if there is some thing that I am doing wrong about burning it. I burn it like a Data CD that could be the problem. Same with the Linux CD I burned it only worked with the CDs I ordered. I also wanna know if there is a way to completly format a Hard Drive without Windows running or a system restore disk. If anyone helps thank you.

You have to burn the ISO as an ISO –if you burn it as a data CD, then all the burner does is copy the ISO file to the CD. An ISO file is a disk image, so the entire ISO has to be burned to the CD as if you were copying an entire CD to the… to the CD… Look around in Nero’s settings… or you could download http://www.deepburner.com/ < -Deep Burner, which asks you when you open the app if you want to burn an ISO. Deep Burner is freeware.
