Hi group.
I just burned up the MoBo and CPU on my PC. I'm not planing on
repairing it, but, I sure would like to get all my data back from
the HDD and save it to my "living" PC. How can I do this?
Any help and info. on this will be much appreciated!

Are you saying that you do not keep removable media copies of
important files?

What to do depends on how important your data is. If it's very
important, clone the hard drive or copy the partitions before you
mess with it. When you are trying to recover data, it's just like
editing a document, you make a backup copy so you can revert to that
and try again if things go wrong. In the case of a whole hard drive,
you're messing with perhaps thousands of documents that you need to
preserve.

After this ordeal is over, buy some USB flash drives and keep copies
of your important files on them.

Good luck.





Thanks
