PC inspector WILL work. Let me try a step by step instruction for you though instructing is not something I do very well 1. Remove the faulty hard disk from your cabinet 2. Install the 4 gb drive as a primary an install windows on it (barebones XP preferably) 3. Install pc inspector file reovery on this 4gb drive 4. Install the corrupted drive as a slave/secondary 5. Fire up PC Inspector 6. Select Eglish in the language selection dialog 7. In the second window select the tab(button?) against Recover deleted files. It will scan the drives on your system and show the available drives - both logical and physical in the next window 7. Next youll see a Select drive window with tabs - Logical drives and Physical drives 8. Click on the Physical drive tab 9. In the list inthe next window, in the list of drives, select your bad drive (Should prolly show as fixed disk #2 if the 4GB drive is primary) 10. Click on Find logical drives on the right of the window. This could take hours depending on the size of your disk 11. In the Select sector range window set the Start sector slider to 0 and the End sector slider to the max and click on the ? tab(button?) to its left 12. Once the scanning is done it should automatically bring up the Logical drives tab 13. Select the drive in the list. It should be listed as something like C Drive on fixed disk #2 or something like that 14. Highlight it and click on the Check Mark at the bottom right hand corner 15. It should bring up a directory tree of all files and folders it could find under that Root 16. Click on the + sign next to Root and LO! Abracadabra If you dont find you files under that branch go to the Object menu at the upper left hand corner of the main window, click on Drive and select a different item from the listing under Logical drives You could of course boot with Ultimate Boot CD. But it proly won't run PC inspector. And I don't know if it'd have HDD recovery tools. I've never used it myself. Good Luck!

You probably would need to enable and set port forwarding on your router to the computer where you have the VNC server running.Work -> Router:10060 -> ComputerRunningVNC:10060What's your router?

yo jimmy i dont think the disk is broke. looks like it's just a corrupted partition table. you could set the spare drive as primary and install a barebones windows os (preferably xp) and use a tool such as pc inspector file recovery (download from http://www.snapfiles.com/get/pcinspector.html) and run it and copy all your important files over to the spare drive. really cool tool i've used it on a winxp system to recover a whole FAT32 partition after installing winxp + pc inspector on a second partition which was not corrupted. i haven't really tried NTFS but the reviews say it does support and it should most probably work. there's lot more tools a quick googling would bring up.

Hey then I'd be history!

Spyware and adware are servers sitting on your computer sending information about you and your surfing habits to a remote location, bringing up annoying pop-up windows at the most inappropriate times, changing your browser settings and using up precious bandwidth. Here's some registry settings which are most commonly used by such warez to load themselves at startup. However make sure that you back up your registry before proceeding, in case something goes wrong. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\MsConfig HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\RunOnce HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\RunServices Locate the above keys and after carefully inspecting the values/paths settings, note all key/values that you are sure, is spyware/adware and delete the files corresponding to the values from your hard disk. Then delete the keys/values from the registry altogether. -----This came from the tutorials section, right? I remember seeing it there. Well, it doesn't belong there. This doesn't meet the requirements of a tutorial. I didn't move it here, but I saw it was unapproved in this section, so now I'm just approving it.-----szupie
