hello folks,
I had an old hard drive that was removed from another PC due to
severe virus infection that I can't read the data anymore. Is there a
way to rectify this situation and still be able to recover the data
from that HD?
TIA
Install it as a slave disk then see what you can read. You
should also pay attention to these points:
- Install a good virus scanner.
- Keep it up-to-date.
- Back up your important files regularly (e.g. weekly) to
an independent medium. A 2.5" disk in an external USB
enclosure is an excellent low-cost backup medium. Next
time you might lose the lot!
