PC laptop and 'disk read error'
I have a friends laptop, wont boot up, says 'disk read error'.
I have a CD with a load of boot tool on it and most wont allow me to view the contents of the HD except one partition recovery tool but this locks up when looking through the file system BUT it does scan a whole load of her docs & settings folders so the disk is still readable (just)
Does anyone have any suggestions of what tools I might try to recover this disk, I only want to access some of the files.
Now would not be the time to point out back up strategies!
Her only backup CD is apparently scratched
Thanks Rich
