Re: Hard Disk Crash on Fujitsu Amilo D1845 (Windows XP Home Edition)

The only real explanation for your memory loss is that memory was removed (physically removed) and not reinstalled.

Can anything be salvaged? Maybe, but it's impossible to say without having physical access to the hard drive. Maybe, maybe not. If you want to send me the drive, I'll look at it and tell you. I will send you the drive and any files off it that I can recover if you pay the shipping & media cost. I'm in the USA.

[Yes, there are professional data services that could POSSIBLY recover more than I or any other individual technician could, but the cost would typically be over $1,000 (US) and there are no guarantees that even they could recover anything).]

You will have to configure outlook to access the servers of your ISP. I can't tell you how to do that without a LOT more information about your E-Mail servers.

I recently had my hard disk crash on my laptop, I took my laptop to my
local PC doctor but unfortunately he couldn't salvage any information
so I lost the lot, s/w and data (apart from a data back up from a
month ago). Since I got my machine back it has been running really
slowly and occasionally the screen "sticks" for 10 - 15 seconds at
time when running graphics. On looking at the configuration I notice
that the memory is now only 256Mb, before the new hard disk was fitted
it was 512Mb, does anyone know what might have happened here, how can
I check that I really only do have 256MB now? Is this something that
my PC man has done incorrectly?

I lost my valid copy of MS Office 2003 so I now only have Office 2000
minus Powerpoint and Projects. The one issue that I now have is trying
to remember how to use Outlook to access my Hotmail and BT Internet
mail accounts (receive and send) exactly as i was using it before, can
anyone point me in the right direction for assistance in setting this,
the info that I have found on searching the internet has not proved
useful.

Is it possible to salvage anything on my old hard disk, specifically
my 2 years worth of e-mails (and folders), are there companies that
can do this?

I am in the UK.
