First of all, thank you to everyone who has replied, and I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you all - I might be slow sometimes, but I'll always reply eventually!
I've been given lots of links to different sites, so I am going to take a look through them all tonight and see what I can...
Hi there,
I'm wondering if anyone can give me some advice or point me in the right direction for creating a photography website? I can create a HTML website no problems, but I don't know how to make a website that will automatically generate pages of images. In particular, I would like the...
Hi RoddLefty, thanks for your reply. I can confirm that this problem is not happening at random, so I can pinpoint what is causing it.
When I insert a picture into an email, I will do it like this: Tools > Insert > Picture. Pictures that I insert in this way are emailed successfully every...
Hi there,
In work, we have Exchange 2000 on the server, and Outlook 2000 on each PC. When I create a signature, I like to include a very small GIF file of the company logo in the signature. I've done this fine, but when I send the email to someone outside the company, the logo doesn't appear...
Outlook 2000 also has the option for each person to choose whether to send the reciepts automatically or not, but for some reason, these options are greyed out so I can't change them! Even when I log onto the server as the Administrator, the options are still greyed out. Any ideas how I enable...
Hi there,
I can use macros to maximise forms, tables, etc, but I can't figure out how to maximise the Access database window itself. I've got an AutoExec macro that opens the switchboard form on startup, and this form maximises to fit the window. But I'd also like the whole Access window to...
Hi there,
I also have the same problem using Outlook 2000 with Exchange 2000 and Small Business Server 2000. The option to turn off the automatic read reciepts is greyed out in the Outlook options.
You suggest running gpresult to find out which policy the setting is coming from - how do I do...
Hi there,
I got the technical report from Vogon today about my hard drive, so I have pasted it below as promised. Do let me know if anyone has any comments.
Thanks,

Re: Data Recovery from Quantum AS30A011
Dear Stephen
I write to confirm our findings with regard to your failed Quantum...
Hi alili,
My hard drive is still at Vogon, the data recovery firm. I got a phone call from them last week, and the situation is basically this: They are pretty sure that the damage is something called 'swipe damage,' and normally, they would say that no recovery is possible. But they want to...
Thanks for that description firewolfrl. It doesn't mean a lot to me, but it's nice to have it in writing anyway (at least I can try and remember some of that if anyone asks me what's wrong with my hard drive!).
I'll post again when there are any developemts, at least the thread can then be...
Hi there,
I'm just posting an update on the problem that started this thread in the first place.
I sent the broken hard drive for data recovery to Vogon International a few weeks ago for them to diagnose the problem. I've had a few calls from them since then, and they tell me it doesn't look...
Hi there,
I got a reply from Benny, and he wrote the following:
Hi again Stephen,
Can I ask one thing. Did you have to reboot your machine using Ctrl + Alt +
Delete, just before your machine went belly up ?
If so, you most likely have caught the virus which was spreading around
Kazaa near...
Hi roamer1, thanks for your reply.
I'm sorry that my last hope doesn't look hopeful, but nevermind. :"-(
I have just posted back to Benny asking him if he knows the name of the Virus that he had, so I will let you know if I hear anything from him.
I have still not heard from Maxtor, so I...
Hello again,
I've sent emails to several data recovery firms, and I have been given various quotes. I have been recommended a place called Vogon (http://www.vogon.co.uk). I've been told that they aren't cheap, but their work is excellent. They charge £85 for stage 1 of their recovery - I...
Thanks for your replies firewolfrl and roamer1.
The data is sentimental - about 2GB worth of family photos is priceless. The other files would be nice to have back, but not worth paying for.
I will email maxtor and see what they have to say, then I will try a search on Google to find some...
Hi there,
I noticed that nobody has replied after I tried to give as much detail as possible over the error messages I have been getting on my broken hard drive when trying diognistic software. Is this because nobody knows what the problem could be? Are there any more ideas from anyone...
I've tried Winternals Administrator's Pak, but with no success. I tried using Disk Commander in Win 32 mode (while Windows is running, with broken hard drive connected a primary slave), but not much happened.
As the program runs, here is what happens...
it says: "Does the volume...
To edfair: When my broken hard drive was connected to my PC earlier, I tried to listen to the sound it makes, but I couldn't do this because the noise of the fan was too loud. I could also not hear the noise that the new hard drive made. I would have to mute the fan to listed for noises, but...
To mainegeek: In the BIOS setup, the Primary Master and Primary Slave are both set to Auto. Is this what you mean?
To firewolfrl: I don't think data recovery software will be any good to me as my hard drive isn't even accessible (would the software help in this situation?) But I will take a...
