How can I repair a crashed hard drive?

August 11, 2009

I’m looking at a friends laptop at the moment. It crashed, won’t boot, freezes at boot up and he lost all his files. I hooked his HDD up to my pc using an ide adapter and recovered the files no problem. My question is this though, having complete access to his windows folder, is there anyway of repairing the drive by configuring the files within it? is there any software out there that might scan for the problem maybe.

Cheers

It’s definitely the drive
It’s definitely the drive because I tried it out in another machine
ok so I formatted the drive, popped it back in the laptop and went to boot from cd drive which is first in boot sequence and I’m getting the error "ntldr is missing" .What now?

Any REAL freeware registry cleaner that’s good?

June 17, 2009

I saw these ads for FREE registry cleaners and they all have been phony. THey scan and tell me I have anywhere from 200 to 700 errors depending on which one I used, then they say they fixed a few of them and urge me to buy the real program. I would rather they sy from the beginning that this is what they charge rther than lead one on.
So anyone know of a GOOD, REALL FREEWARE to fix registries?
Thanks for the tips all. DG and Shed – I downloaded the CCleaner – and it really was FREE and pretty fast. I even think my computer is running a bit faster – now if it stops locking up every once in a while I'm a very happy camper.

Did the CCleaner and it took oput a bunch of cookies – but fooled around with it and found a place where it took out lots of files and dlls etc etc etc that went nowhere. After I did that, I ran the MS defragger and now my computer runs about 30% faster and so far…no lock ups. Thanks!

can anyone reccommend a good registry cleaner for XP ?

May 29, 2009

I need to service 3 XP Pro machines. I need to clean the registry, compress the content and update drivers without too much hassle.

Used to use acutils but this no longer seems to work and need a reliable, high quality registry cleaner with lots of options.

Free would be nice of course but a modest payment is ok too.

Cheers
