From the symptoms it sound like you have a hard drive problem, From experience this happens when you hard drive File system has errors, it will attempt to boot and then give you a blue screen of death. You'll need to slave the hard drive, backup your files, if the hard drive is salvageable, reformat and re-install your operating system. Reason why recovery wont work is the bad file system
thanks.. Do you have 2go account? I'll love to chat wit you more.. Thanks. Mine is smilingfaz

The screen of my laptop suddenly went blank and then I tried fixing it. Technicians said it was the flex. I kept it at home and one day after like 5 months I took it to a technician. He was still trying to look over when the monitor came up and started booting and booting and booting.

Since then it has started working. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED TO THE LAPTOP

many things. 1. The video card might be bad. It happens. 2. We leave in a region with a bit Harsh weather. Too much heat or cold can affect the performance of some core pc components like the vga. 3. The flex might have been bad or slightly disconnected and the engineer touching it might rectified this even though it was unintentional. 4. The engineer guy na winch na holy water he use touch the system. Lol

Here are some steps you need to take if you use iCare Data Recovery Standard to settle Flash drive not formatted error.
First: You should download iCare Data Recovery Standard into your computer.
Second: Install it.
Third: Insert your USB Flash drive into your computer.
Fourth: Open the software and press Recovery.

I also use command prompt to copy the files by opening command prompt first then

type xcopy E: (depending on the drive location it can be f, g or h)

it should copy all files in the flash to your document settings folder.

your usb drivers are missing or the usb ports are faulty. Go to my computer right click and click on properties or go click windows start key and type device manager and select it go the list when it opens go down and locate usb devices. Right click and un install all usb devices you see. Restart your system.

did you try the command prompt option? Also did you download the software? If these wont work i guess your flash is bad. As a last resort try opening it on another system.

No need for commamnd prompt or so...here is d gist,chinko flashdrives and fake ones don't format as NTFS..they are mostly FAT32..so try change the filesystem to fat32 as ur formatting..not ntfs.

Hello. I was informed my hp pavilion g6 hdd is faulty barely 4months of purchase. The hhd was removed frm d system and used as a external hard disk yet it wasnt recognized by d other system. The technician said i might need to get a new hdd for d system. I av a lot of important documents in it, Is there a means of recovering some of it? Thanks

if its not been recognized my the system when inserted into an external usb cable then recovering your data can only be done by data recovery experts.


Lets me see if you still have any hope:

when the external HDD was inserted even though it doesnt show up on my computer, did you hear any sound? like usb inserted sound? if there was sound, insert it in and goto disk management and see how many disk is been listed, if by chance you have your HDD there even it can show up as unallocated, then you should right click on it (If you are sure its your HDD inserted) click on format.

then you can recover your data afterward.

I was able to recover a clients HDD last week by same way

oh yes. if i were you, I would connect the usb stick to the computer
go to google and download recuva or use icare after then the software will
guide you to extract the data to your computer or an external device.
You can then format the usb stick. by default nts should be selected for you
but some comes with fat32 as sameolg616[b][/b] has said. onegig on the
other hand advised that you should try a data recovery software. I would
advice you follow the samething and then format the stick

This is just a data copying using commad prompt. It might work.

Click on start-all programs-acessories-command prompt

When it opens.

Type xcopy E: (the e in here means the flash drive location. it might be f. just check my computer to see yours.)

check your document and settings folder if you use windows xp or c:/users in windows 7
