My internal harddrive was damaged. i called technical support for dell and they said that i have to replace my hard drive and that my old hardrive had unrecoverable problems and it can't be used. however i had some pictures on my old hard drive that i do not wish to part with. is there any way to recover those pictures?

Do you still have possession of the drive? Did the drive still reotate?

You can try installing the drive as a slave on another 'XP' system and see if you can copy the files off of it.

I agree with HAM30. The same exact thing happened to me just a while ago. But not only was there pictures on the drive, yet, more valuable things. Just slip it in as a slave in another computer and you should be just fine. JBC
