I had back up but they all seem to be blank now (not suprised). The Pc now seems to go to a brand new systm, when it isturned on. There is no indication of any of the old programs, systems files.. ANYTHING. Not having a clue about any of this, and having no more tears to cry, is there any hope for me recovering anything?? Or worth my while seeking and paying for professional help?? Thanking you in advance Hi there,

I was wondering if this can be fixed or should I purchase a new Sata Hardrive ?

Is there anyway I can access it to retrieve pics and such? I'm running XP. Thanks Mitz,

I have treid this with 3 different laptops but each time I get the same message, something like "The disc cannot be read. It must be formatted to continue." From all that I have read, I don't want to do that. Can I still recover my files or are they all lost? If I can recover them, how do I do it?

I dropped an external hard drive from my chair to the floor and it was ruined.. It just slid off...not even dropped. :) Yes it could cause damage.

When I tried to turn it back on it said "Operating System not found". I took the back off the laptop and took a look at the hard drive, doesn't look damaged at all but do you think the jolt would have been enough to cause enough damage that it can't be repaired?
