    Pc help needed really badly.

    Guys I have a pc from someone that's vista.
    It's gone faulty but crucially it's got pictures of a young family member that has died.
    They are devasted.
    Please help.
    It is z toshiba satellite
    It goes to the windows stopped unexpectedly page. If I press start normally it flashes up the logo in the middle of the screen then show the vista page which then dissapeaes and all that happens next is a pointer on a blank screen. I can see the screen is lit up but blank except pointer.
    They have no recovery discs so that options out. I need to try n get pictures.
    Any ideas?

    take hard drive out and link it to another pc, either via an external hdd case or open your other case and add it in as a second drive.

    Youll then be able to access as a normal drive

      is there not a point during start up when you can select recovery?
      Been there and done that, but never stop learning.
      Now too many Helis to mention?

          Hi, If I was you I would take the hard drive out and put it in another PC, let that PC boot up as normal and you will see the Hard drive you put in as another hard drive, go into it and copy all the photo's to your PC then remove the hard drive and put back into laptop and reinstall.

          I am sure the data can be recovered if you know what you are doing but it's going to cost money that way. in future you should use the cloud like skydrive for photo's, you have the photos on your pc but they are also on the cloud, if pc has shit you still got them.

            As others have said.... take the hard drive out of the failing PC and connect it to another machine. If the hard drive is not faulty then you will be able to recover all the data (documents and photos).

            If the hard drive is faulty - there are still recovery options, try Recuva [url=http://www.piriform.com/recuva]Recuva - Undelete, Unerase, File and Disk Recovery - Free Download[/url] it is free and works really well.

              Don, pop hard drive out as if trying a restore you can potentially lose the contents, if your drastically stuck give me a shout as I can pop the hard drive out for you & copy the pictures to an external usb stick ;)

                          Stick the drive in the external caddy, right click 'Computer' from the start menu, click 'manage', then from the left column select 'Disk Management'. Check if the disk is visible in there and if it is, make it active and allocate it a drive letter.

                              Do put a note taped to it with the warning that they must not reformat the drive.
