Help!!!!microsoft window xp stops loading

[joebloggs]

I know of cases where people were so desperate for files on the deceased Hdd's they were prepared to pay hundreds of pounds for them to be professionally read plate by plate (even then there is no gurantee sadly)

do these companies read tea leafs as well
i think you mean platters

is your hdd like this andy ?



I agree, you can replace your programs, but your data unless you have a backup, with the cost of 2gb usb devices now only like £7, there is no excuse or reason not to back your data up , especially if your going to need it as evidence for a visa app. and if your a company and don't back data up, your playing Russian roulette with a loaded gun

No we use China plates far more greener

One real good example is a person at my Company doused their laptop in some water (always good to clean them ) and just for one excel file i belive which was stored on this one device and no where else as they didn't back it up. They were charged about 600 pounds and suffered a nervewracking wait.

I think it was the cheaper option otherwise the information contained would have cost thousands to recreate

Not the company but the person had to pay up, all beacuse they didn't back up (didn't follow company procedure) and then took the laptop for a swiming lesson.
