I want to grab files from my crashed HD. how?
Closed
Hello,
my old hard drive crashed so i got a new one replaced it and now i'm fresh with windows re-installed and such now i want to get some files off the old hard drive. i've installed it into my tower and now anytime i try to open what i assume is the hard drive (f:) it tells me i need to format the drive. i know for a fact theres about 100g worth of information on there so what should i do? is there a program i can use to get files off the hard drive? or am i stuck?

If setting it to slave fails,
try buying a IDE 2 USB converter.
basically what this does is, instead of plugging it into your motherboard via IDE cable.
this acts like a giant removable disk, which should hopefully let you access your documents.
if it still asks you to format it,
then you have no other alternative than to format it.
Tbf with you, id have saved the money, formatted my HD, created a partition, then start again. :]
the partition is to keep files i want backing up, preferably drivers.

Dear Aron my friend
Take this since you are saying that you got a new hard drive you can make that new one a Master and connect another one as slave the system is going to read two drives and copy your files from hard drive number two and paste them inside hard drive number one remember that hard drive number two can be crushed or corrupted by a virus you need to have an updated anti-virus, basically you need to scan drive number two before you can open it so that you wont have the same problem of crushing the first one
