Blue screen of death question - GoFuckYourself.com

mkx · 12-05-2004, 12:11 PM

One of my computers gets a blue screen everytime I try to boot it up so I plugged the harddrive into another computer as the slave harddrive and am trying to back up all the files, however, it will not let me access the user files from documents and settings, it only lets me access the 'All Users' folder. This is probably the only folder I need to back up on the drive and it won't let me access it, I am thinking because that user required a password to login. Does anyone know how I can back up this folder? It's the folder that contains my documents, desktop, application data, etc.

If no one knows what I can do, does anyone have a downloadable version of windows 2k pro? Thanks

Also, I figure a virus got into the other harddrive and messed up something with windows, is there any programs to repair this on the slave drive well i have access to it?

you can try one the one here it will not give you all but, http://www.ontrack.com/

Does that program keep the right file name or does it rename the file as recovered text file, etc

I am guessing that the reason you cannot
gain access to your files is because of the permissions on them. You need to take ownership of them as Administrator!

hope that helps, it specifically addresses the problem you're having.

Great! This could be what I needed. Giving it a go now

mkx · 12-05-2004, 12:56 PM

I think its working, thanks! Now on to the next hard drive problem. One of the pins on the harddrive broke where you plug in the data cable

How do I replace this?

glad that worked for you.
Did the pin break at the very base?

mkx · 12-05-2004, 01:01 PM

Thank you so so much! I had this problem on my laptop and as soon as I fix the power inlet on it I will be sure to do the same and back up those long lost files. I greatly appreciate it.

The pin on the harddrive broke on the very base, but its the one all the way to the right

You will have to have some serious soldering skills to replace the pin with a similar sized pin.
Here is a schematic can you tell which pin is the one damaged?

I am assuming it is the GRND, and hoping it is not the 5V HD motor pin..!

Number 40

mkx · 12-05-2004, 01:20 PM

Sorry it's number 1 So the bottom of the harddrive is face up and its the one to the bottom left

well the Pin is not related to I/O or Power -- is marked as a Ground in the schematic does it function correctly still? Are you any good at soldering?

mkx · 12-05-2004, 01:26 PM

Should the pin be nescessary then? I know a bit about soldering but I don't consider myself good. At least this one is in the most accessable place out of all the pins

mkx · 12-05-2004, 01:27 PM

I tried booting the computer up but it wasnt detecting the harddrive, I am not sure if it was all the spyware the got infected or if its the pin. Actually, when I first restarted my computer and noticed this problem, the computer kept restarting after loading the windows screen.

Does the hard drive get detected in the Bios? If it's pin 1 (RESET) you should probably have no problem with the drive, because it's something you can live without. If it's 40, and a Ground I am not sure what that effect is, (does it ground remaining signal - or does it act like a safety ground)

I just booted it up as a slave drive like i did with the other one and I can access it now from my computer. Thank you so much for your help!

mkx · 12-05-2004, 03:05 PM

It's showing me all folders but the My Documents folder, any help on this one?

mkx · 12-05-2004, 03:09 PM

Nevermind, theres nothing important there anyways, not worth the time

pornguy · 12-05-2004, 03:11 PM

Not to be mean or anything, but can you just throw that one out and start all over???

It may be less of a headache.
