My system is Windows Vista Premium, with one disk with two partitions
Drive C: 366.35 GB, 85% Free.
Drive D: 7.44 GB , 0 % Free
Constantly comes out a warning sign tellin me that iI have "Low Disk Space", and that I am running out of disk space on Recovery (D) . and instructing me to make a Disk cleanup. I make a disk cleanup and defragmentacion of both partitions, but that does not work.
Can anybody show me how to make a different partition?
‘Partition Magic’ is not sure to work in Windows Vista. The systems that they specify are : Windows XP, and earlier systems. I’d like a program that will work in Windows Vista" .
I would like to increase drive "D at least to 25 GB.

I have a pair of large 127GB hard drives in my computer. Following a windows crash on its twin disc I had to reload windows. I had a microsoft backuop file on this drive prior to the accident. During the process windows reformatted this drive and so I cannot get the data. I have been trawling the internet for a data recovery program but the ones that find the file requirwe me to pay a large up-front fee. Does anyone know of a free program that will reliably find data from a reformatted disc, for FREE.

Is there any way a hard drive could be used for years and then not have anything left on it but a few windows icons left on it even with recovery software? The drive was not formatted or wiped. I used a few different programs to recover and nothing but some windows icons was found. Also the drive was clicking the night before and having read/write errors within windows xp.
Is there anyway this could of happen and please provide as much info as you can. Thanks
I have got a new drive but there was stuff on that drive that I would like to recover if I can. Now the drive acts fine and doesn’t click but yet it acts as it was wiped clean. What could of happen.

I bought a 100Mb zip drive about 2 years ago. Recently when I tried to open documents on my zip but to no avail. Iomega company told me there was a problem with the disk. They told me I need to find a data recovery speacilist b/c they would charge me 0.
I really need to retrieve the documents or copy them on to another disk. Is there an inexpensive way to do this myself instead of paying a company more money than the zip actually cost?

Can anyone tell me of a method of using the TestDisk/Photrec program? I need to recover my files but I do not reallyu want to remove any external drives from the host computer. If not, are there any programs that can do this as well?

is it possible to recover my data on the hard disk even after it is formatted and the OS is re installed? if so how?

I just bought a new remote line with a Slide check and I normally run an HPA tank with my marker but I have a few CO2 bottles that I take with me just as a backup. Would it be ok if I used the slide check with those or would I end up blowing out my O rings?

I just recently got a new PC and I installed my old hard drive as a slave. Unfortunately, I found that I cannot access the files on the drive.

So, I downloaded a recovery software (RecoverMyFiles) but all it does is search the hard drive and return thousands of files with their filenames renamed! The program shows checkboxes where the user is prompted to select the type of files they want to search but I find it inconvenient to find the exact files I need out of the thousands of search results!

All the files I need are contained in only one folder. Is there a software that can recover whole folders instead of just files? HELP!!!

I have a Compaq desktop that has been having some system instability problems and it has been getting progressively worse the past couple of months. After backing up my data I attempted a recovery process from the desktop which resulted in an error. Analysis of the hard drives showed no problems…including the partitioned drive. My latest attempt has been to use the provided recovery disks and try to do a complete re-install. After a couple of minutes I get a "non-system disk error" and the re-install stops.

What should I do? Any suggestions?

how to prevent data recovery from flash or hard disk? is there any solution to format each sector of the hard disk to stop data restoration?

My friend has a Dell Dimension 8400 Desktop computer and he was having some random electrical problems. The computer has two hard drives running a RAID 1 array (software not hardware). The HDD’s use SATA cables. Long story short, I got a similar dell power supply and replaced the bad one with the good one to make sure its the PSU, which solved the original problem.

However, when I was cabling the new power supply I did not notice that the SATA cable for the 2nd hard drive came loose from its connection to the motherboard. I booted it up and his Intel Raid Utility freaked out and messed up the array. The disk was labeled as a non-raid member disk. I could not boot into windows. This is the problem I have now.

I did some searching around a found a posting with an email from an Intel support tech that gave me some step by step directions. Following the directions, I used the array utility to remove the RAID array. Both disk are now listed as non-member disks. After a reboot, I got a error saying "Bad PBR". Did some searching on that, and it turns out to be a messed up boot record, which makes sense to me. I used the recovery disk to repair it from command prompt (FIXBOOT). It could not find any installation, so I used FIXMBR in stead. Now, after a reboot, I get a different error saying "Error Loading Operating System."
This is where I am at now. Should I re-create the RAID array using the utility? What should I do?

Both disks are listed as 150 GB. I don’t think the data was erased, but I am stuck. Any ideas/suggestions that avoid data loss would be helpful. Thanks!

Please tell me of the best thing to do to delete a data from my hard disk so that no one would ever be able to retrieve it. I would highly appreciate a way whereby which NO ONE can retrieve it but I STILL CAN. Well, if I can’t, no problem. I just want NO ONE ELSE to retrieve the deleted data.

Secondly, please tell me of the best way to recover deleted data that has not been deleted by means of deleting it for FOREVER, as I’ve asked above.

Urgent help required!

can this VNC server review all the logs of the backup?please help me im doing my thesis and we propose a backup monitoring system..where we can remotely access and review the logs by installing the IIS so that the application can be access..by the way how to import a .txt file into a php or asp language?so that it is not hard for the user to access and review the logs they will login in the server in a web with a user account and password to access the files.

I have an old hard drive that I want to get some stuff from but I don’t want to throw it in my computer. Will file recovery software work on external drives? ie. Flash drives, USB drives, especially USB-IDE drives.
Will some work and some not? Any suggestions?

My Toshiba Sattelitte was not running properly and the virus scan was causing the machine to shut down.

After searching the internet for the symptoms (specific programs were starting w/o my control), i found that it could be a worm or virus. I then downloaded some spyware/worm software and it said i had a "Lampsey trojan horse". It wouldn’t take it off w/o paying some fee. I then dowloaded spybot and it kept crashing at the same point at every scan.

Then it would take forever to restart after locking up. I couldn’t do anything after logging in b/c it would freeze up. It got worse until now it won’t even boot up XP home edition.

It gives me the safe mode and other options but after selecting it flashes to a blue screen for bout 1/2 second, the drive makes a noise then it takes back to the same select safe mode screen.

I have my key code for the XP edition but not the actual disk.

I figure I have lost all my data, pictures, files, music but how can I get it to work ag

Has anyone ever done data recovery from an (external) hard disk?
There are some service/shops that do this, even if the disk is broken in two (mine is just not working somewhere in the power connection), but I don’t know the cost.
Have anyone do it so he can tell an estimated cost?

Ok.. this is weird my hard drive is acting funny.Every time i download some updates and trusted software stuff it beeps and freezes and the time i boot up it takes for EVER and when it does boot all the way, crash.. then i have to go to system recovery and then all that again (but i don’t need to tell you all this) ok.. so that was B4 i hit my computer (getting mad) but not like some crazy freak.(BUT LISTEN) I hit it were the hard drive sits so i know its ok.But my hard drive i don’t think so.. so here is my questions:

can i use a blank disk to copy my whole hard drive to a new one and have vista on it so i don’t have to buy anything?new but the hard drive.

can i use a "hard drive tool" to fix it?

um that’s it….HELP

The reason for the upgrade in software is because my tape drive just went bad so I’m upgrading it. I have used CA’s ArcServe 7.0 and am fairly happy with it. Not worried about ease of use as I can figure that out, I just want to see which is the best one and if anyone has had experience with them

My laptop’s hard disk not responding & seems like crashed. Is there any way to recover data from it.

I used a USB 2.0 to IDE or SATA adapter from Cables to Go to connect the hard drive from my tower pc(running XP) to my new HP Pavilion 9000 laptop loaded with Vista. The hard drive that I connected was the hard drive loaded with the XP OS, and also had a "system restore/recovery" partition on it. It had special recovery software from Emachines (the manufacturer of the PC) I think.

Usually when the Emachines PC is booted, it first shows the main screen with the Emachines logo and also mentions "[F9] for Boot Options] and the like. Then there is a black screen that says "Press [F11] to start recovery __". The "__" is a countdown that always starts from 2 and then goes to 0. When it gets to 0 it always goes to a new screen where it informs you that it is loading Windows XP. I believe the countdown was to inform the user that after 2 seconds, it would be to late to press [F11] and therefore would have to restart the PC in order to perform the System Recovery. Anyway, it no longer behaves the way it should. Now, instead of continuing to the next screen after the count down ends, it posts a new line in the prompt bellow the first one with the same text as the previous line along with a new 2 sec. count down. It repeats the same thing over and over for eternity. I let it cycle through about 300 lines of crap and shut it down. After several more boots, it does the same thing, and the only response to me actually pressing [F11] is that the current line’s count down ends instantly, only to create a new line. Is this because I connected it to a Vista PC? The hard drive definitely works, but why can’t it be booted from? It’s detected by my old PC and it even loads to the "System Recovery" screen, so it must be connecting. Is there some way I can make the hard drive bootable again?

Also, I already tried using the same adapter with my tower PC and tried booting it that way, but it also freezes on the same screen.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
