Help!!!!
Somehow my computer erased all my Iraq pictures. My computer does not also want to boot up either. A blue screen comes on instead. Will I be able to retrieve my pictures? I talked to the geek squad at best buy and they wanted anywhere from 500 to 2000 dollars to do a data recovery. Does anyone know of a good place that has an outstanding reputation that would not cost that much. I honestly did not think it would be that much. I guess I will have to pay that. Those pictures do mean alot to me. Any insight would be muchly appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks

RE: Help!!!!
Just because you get the blue screen of death does not mean all is lost. Assuming you have a regular desktop PC, plug your hard drive into a friend's PC and see if it can be read from. A lot of time those errors come from boot sector issues. If it can be read download everything you need off there immediately. You will need a new hard drive regardless.
If you cant read from that hard drive, you will need to find a company that supports hard drive restoration. $500 to $2000 seems a little spendy but its something I have never looked hard into. Hate to say this, but it will teach you to back things up.

You can also do things like fdisk /mbr and recover boot sector issues. I use mirrored sets and tape backups for EVERYTHING.
