625051 2007-12-31 00:51:00 Errrr Just in case its me making a Play on Words :waughh: :lol: - When you say Destructive recovery - is the system Now working, no beeping apart from the normal 1 post beep, and you are back into your desktop.???

Regarding the Age of the HD, from what you mentioned with the results of that HD recovery CD, the first 1/4 of the drive appears to be fine.

Hard Drives can fail at any time, some can last a few hours (Had New drives fail when building customers PC's, with Good brands like Seagate this is rear- but it does happen) others keep going and going and going and outlast all other components.

Thats why its important to regularly back up and check the backup of any important data - failure can and will happen sometime - just a matter of when.


I would like to thank you wainuitech for all the help you have provided Awhh shucks :blush: - no worries

Well done - At least its going again, keep the CD's you never know when they will come in handy, and maybe learnt a few "tricks" along the way.

Have a great new Year.
