Death of Another Hard Drive
By Internet Handholding @ 2:37 PM :: 1092 Views :: 0 Comments ::

Bought a new Dell computer last month to replace my 5 year old laptop because the hard drive had failed. See Death of a Hard Drive.

I spent the last month reinstalling all my software and trying to recover my data from one place or another with acceptable, but time-consuming, results.

The day after I finished, the hard drive on my new computer crashed. My computer was running impossibly slow and when I ran a hard drive self test, got error code 2000-0146.

Called Dell and they immediately said I had to replace the hard drive. They mailed a hard drive to a local technician. He came to my house and put it in my computer.

The hard drive was pre-loaded so it automatically reinstalled Windows when it started.

I have spent the last week reinstalling programs and data.

There were two cool, useful things that helped.

1. My computer would not reboot from the hard drive, so I downloaded Ubuntu, burned it to a CD and booted from the CD to be able to get some of my hard drive data. See Ubuntu to the Hard Disk Data Rescue.

2. I had set up my computer to use Windows Live Mesh to synchronize some folders on my computer with the Mesh online desktop. It worked and I was able to recover some files that were no where else. See Windows Live Mesh for data backup.
