My computer finally died. I came home last week to a frozen screen. I purchased a new computer and it is up and running. I was wondering though....
I know that people have had success with retrieving old files, etc...from their dead hard drives. I would like to get at least one e-mail from my old system. Luckily after losing everything on another hard drive in 2010 I learned my lesson and backed things up.
The e-mail in question should have been a document file and it would have been saved as well but hindsight is 20/20.
I assume *if* things are capable of being retrieved that a computer person with far more experience than I have would be able to do it. I am not really trying to avoid that route (I have someone that potentially could do it) but I was just wondering if anyone like me & "clueless" could figure this out? I suppose it would take some sort of software to achieve this so maybe I am answering my own question. Perhaps I should admit defeat and hire someone while I am ahead!
