Re: GetDataBack... thinking about using it to resurrect my lost C: drive

number..... What the hay!

Jerry, did you try to see if you see the files with the german free
recovery program? I mean just to look?

nora
(who recently managed to transfer most of the files from an external
disk.)

Nora,
Decided to hook the old drive to another machine at work. Installed PC
Inspector to the other machine and gave it the ol' college try. I had it
look for a "lost drive" and it reflected all the files in the "root"
directly portion of the interface. I selected all and asked it to save
the files to a folder I put on the desktop. It ran through the files
pretty quickly (that is, the blue progress marker thingy).... and it's
currently saving. However, the amount of minutes for completion seems a
bit astronomical: 71582784 minutes. Could this be correct? (or will the
number reduce down quickly?) I only hope that no one sees fit to fiddle
with the computer or accidentally kick my hard drive which is hanging
off the side of the open machine.
All in all, now that I know it CAN work, if I have to stop the office
machine from doing its job, I can always hook the drive up to my regular
machine once I fit it with a new drive.
Thanks for all your support. I'll keep you posted.
--Jerry

Correction: ".... 'root' directory..."
;-)
