Hi Phyllis:
Hope I'm not just being too simple here, but you did not explain
completely the type of failure. If it is not a mechanical breakdown,
sometimes the drive can be connected as a slave or placed into
an external USB Hard drive case and a lot of stuff in particular data
will still be readable.
Depends too how you save your data. Applications will not work
but stuff saved within an application can still be found and copied
out. Data that is saved within a folder such as my documents may
still be readable and copied out. Data copied out this way is
strictly Data and the PC that is used to read this stuff needs to have
a program installed that is capable of reading it, usually the program
that crated the data.
What kind of failure did you have. Are you capable of rebooting the
drive from the OS application CD? If so, you can maybe do a "repair"
or as Microsoft call it " an "In Place re-installation". This AVOIDS a
reformat and leaves all the settings, drivers and data in place.
As I said, I do not know the extent of your damage so the above may
not help.
Emile
