Hi All
I would be grateful to any one who could help with my problem
I now have an all new PC because my old PC crashed
It would not boot up and no lights came on.
My question is how can i recover data from my old PC's hard drive (as luck would have it i did not backup anything)
thank you in anticipation

there are data recovery companies and software, you will pay
no help to you right now but you should look at online backups such as carbonite or elephantdrive.0 -
Hi,
I'm not much of an expert but my laptop died and we were able to remove the hard drive and put it in another laptop that was the same make etc and it powered up and we copied the data to an external hard drive and then onto my new laptop.
I suppose it depends if the problem was with the hard drive or something else. All may not be lost. Good luck I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will reply soon
