[THIN] Re: OT: PC hard disk recovery tools

Joe,

 Well put and I completely agree.  But... 

 

I'll still have control systems in a dirty environment with data that
changes constantly and a programmer in the electronics department that
will make changes on the fly. It's hard to maintain my 'network' house
while dealing with the ever increasing need for production support. I'm
not so much concerned with the users data. Like you say save it to the
network or loose it. It's the non-networked control systems that run on
Windows that the ele boys can no longer support and become quite the
headache when the little hamster on the wheel dies. 

 

Working on my storage issues too...

 

Good to have you people out there. Thank you for all your input. 

 

Joanne

If the data is worth it, send it in to a professional... If it's too
expensive, then well... The data is not worth it...  As far as utilities
etc that's saved butts... Windows XP and GPOs...  Lock down the desktop
and they'll never be able to save to the local disk.

We've been experiencing a lot of disk failure lately on the desktop

or utilities for desktops that have saved your butt?

 

I feel we shouldn't have to recover data, because users should be saving
to the network. And why try to save a power surged dirty messed up disk?
But hey, the boss is a spending mood and the level 1 techs may benefit. 

 

 

 I use chkdsk to repair or if that doesn't work can I usually get data
off the bad drive by plunking in a boot drive. I've used File Scavenger
with great results. But that's about it. I don't believe in magic, or
putting the disk in the freezer etc...

 

Thanks,Joanne
