This product has helped me in the past.
R-Studio
http://www.data-recovery-software.net/[^]
I have used it to even recover files on a Raid 5 volume, I don't know what their cost is now, but if you need the files, chances are they can recover it.
Good luck.

If the MFT is corrupted it means you can't access any of the files in there by default, as the MFT holds pointers to where the files are on the disk.
You need some file recovery software, if you need to recover some important data. I had good track with GetDataBackNTFS. which goes on the disk cluster by cluster and tries to make sense where files start and end.
Since the computer is old, there is a high chance that the region is affected by a bad sector, and given the nature of rotating media, there is a higher chance that the bad region will grow in size. If you have the standard single c:\ partition, then I would strongly recommend running a bad block finder on the disk and if it can't read from the sector (even though the data is corrupted) replacing the disk with a new one, since that means you have damage to the beginning of the disk. This damage will probably grow in size with age and will affect other important bits, such as the master boot record (making partitions unreadable) or the track that has the disk firmware, and geometry. ( making the whole disk unmountable)

The disk has a brand new OS, actually better than the original, without the dell crapware. I still need to get the 3K images (mostly bs, but I'm certainly not about to look at each one to figure it out) all together in a new folder and copy/paste is failing since one or more in the group are caueing read errors. Think I'll put together a little VBScript to do the job! ahem...sounds like an appropriate place for on error resume next!

That will be cumbersome after the fact.
Notes to self.
- Recover first, reinstall later, since reinstall will usually overwrite the actual data on the platter. Whereas quick format/delete just erases the index in the table, leaving the actual data intact, until new space is needed for new physical write.
- New windows does not mean healthy drive, it just means new operating system on potentially old broken drive.
- Conventional tools usually give up on the first problem/error. Unconventional tools ( data recovery tools) will often employ aggressive rereads/ and/or reads in reverse, use available checksums or known patterns, skip missing/broken sections to try to resurrect as much of the data on a damaged disk as they can.

So finally finished the latest CCTV install.
Went to the site, logged in to the router.
Port forwarded the Web Access/TCP and UDP sockets and left.
Came home, loaded up the web viewer and hey presto.
Too easy!
Normally there are problems of some description, but not this time.
Feel guilty taking so much money from him for the technical install.
However, and as Michelle pointed out, I now have access to over 100 cameras on many sites, including pubs and shops.
She reckons that I have all the makings of a psycho-killer!
Not so, but I do need to monitor the systems.
And to see who does what, at all times, everywhere.

i'm in the market for a copy of Win7 x64, so i googled... and this turned up:
techsupplyking[^]
it's the cheapest i've seen, by far. but it's a download.
does anyone know if that is legit or not?
i've purchased lots of big-name software for download, but this is the first time i've seen anyone selling Windows that way.
(no, this isn't spam. i want to know if you can legally DL Windows)

Did you Google? It brings up this complaint[^], which has some valid points indicating it may be a scam. Additionally, the site says 'Microsoft Certified Partner', but this post[^] indicates that program no longer exists, and everyone was required to take that branding down in 2011.
But then, when all was said and done, this Microsoft page[^] indicates they really are certified. So it is confusing, but seems to be legit after all???
Good luck!, and if you do buy, post back your experience.

What about Microsoft store?
Mm... they don't sell 7! 
But they do sell Win8 at reasonable price!

Might be, not sure. They are a Microsoft Certified Partner as they claim to be: http://pinpoint.microsoft.com/en-US/partners/Tech-Supply-King-4299278462[^], although that is the lowest level of partnership with Microsoft. It would be quite easy for just about any company to obtain it, but at least it shows the company is a real company and not just someone pretending to be a real company. Still for a few hundred dollars and a credit card, just about anyone can set up a business and basic website within a few hours. It does seem odd though that they use billing-secure-server.com for their shopping cart instead of using their main site.

Just got a job offer from Facebook for $90,000. No other information. I wonder if I need to move?
|
|

|

If it came unsolicited, it's a scam. I get those from "Google" all the time.
According to my calculations, I should be able to retire about 5 years after I die.

Knew it was spam for several reasons, not the least is it came to my work email.

Of course! Move as far as possible from FB...
