Anyone -- HELP -- had a hard drive crash on a Dell laptop. Booted with a diagnostics disk. Used DOS to change to C:\. dir/v -- says there are no files ... Got some critical stuff on the drive. What are my chances of recovering some files here -- none? slim to none? good with a professional service?? One detail -- the diagnostics I ran on the HD all tested good -- before the diagnostics came up it said "starting windows 95" but I have loaded 2000 -- could the version of DOS just not recognize the format?? It did recognize the label on the volume ... Any thoughts would be welcome. Monday my IT dept will be looking at it ...
