jerry walters Posted April 11, 2023 Report Share Posted April 11, 2023 Sorry about that Joe, I hate when things like that happen. Then you have to restore so many things. Hopefully you had a backup. Being a retired computer programmer I'm a firm believer in backing up your computer. I usually do that about every 3 months unless I have done many things. Goes to show you how much we rely on computers in our daily live. Jerry MarieC, barb.j.enders and OCtoolguy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jellis2 Posted April 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Thank you all very much. Good news my oldest son found a refurbished HP on line and bought it for me. It is a lot faster than my old one so that makes up for everything. No Jerry I didn't even think about but my son says he get everything off the and on to the new one. Keep your fingers crossed please. OCtoolguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCtoolguy Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Just because a computer stops operating doesn't mean you've lost all your data. Get a new computer and hook up the hard drive with the proper cable and you should be able to retrieve most everything. Now if the harddrive is the problem and has actually crashed it may not be retrievable. Even then there are companies that have pretty good success rates with data retrieval. Expensive though. The cable you need is available on Amazon for less than $20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
