Yes, it is NTSF on both drives. I put in a new hard drive and installed the bad one as a slave. I finally purchased Easy Recovery....the trial version allowed me to see some of the files on the bad hard drive. I'm setting it up now and am about to run a scan to recover the files that I need...

I was using NTFS.

No, I just booted it up this morning and all I got was an error message saying something like "a disk read error has occured". From there, I could not get it to boot. That's when I took it out of that machine and then put it into my second computer.

Hi, My hard drive crashed and I need to recover the data. When I put it into my second computer (which is basically the same type of computer) as a slave, I can see the drive. But when I try to access it, I get the message that the disk is not formatted. Does anyone know how I can still...

Hello, I'm building a computer with a 300 watt power supply and a Chaintech SKT600 motherboard. This morning everything was fine, the system powered up, no problem. I then went to the store to get some cables. When I came back, it no longer turns on! I've tried taking everything off and...

I have a database that needs to calculate the difference between dates and then tell me how many days, weeks and months are in that range. For example, I need to know that the difference between May 3 and May 13 is 1 week and 3 days. When I use the datediff function for weeks, it only returns...

Has anyone else come across this? I'm using Access 2003. I've noticed that after I import a form from another database (same Access version) and I make changes to it, I am unable to close the form and save the changes. I would appreciate any help with this. Thank you in advance!

Hello, I was hoping that someone would know of a simple code to re-hide the database window. On startup, my database window is hidden. On the switchboard form I have a command button that prints a form. When this button is clicked, the database window pops up. I want to either prevent this...

Hello, I have a table that stores email addresses for a select group that I want to send a bulk email to. Does anyone know of a way to take that list and create a distribution list in Outlook? There are over 400 addresses so I don't want to manually type in anything. Thank you in advance!

Does anyone know what this is about? A computer here at work just received a message from the Sygate firewall saying something to the effect of "A Microsoft Office 2000 component is trying to connect to www.irs.gov. Do you want to allow this? Sounds very fishy to me.....would anyone know...

Thank you so much - that was the problem. I was able to open and work with the file using Word. Much Mahalos (Hawaiian for "thank you very much").

I keep getting this error message when trying to open an Excel file "File format is not valid". I went to the Microsoft knowledge base and the conditions listed that would cause this error do not apply. The file extension is an .xls, so it is in the Excel format. Has anyone else run...

Whenever I use Word, after several minutes it causes my machine running Windows 2000 to lock up. I cannot even use ctl-alt-del. The only solution is to do a hard boot. The machine came wiht Office 2000. I uninstalled that and installed Office XP. Thinking that might be the problem, I...

I have a table with names and addresses. When I try to do a mail merge and I insert the fields FirstName and LastName there is a huge space between the two fields although there is no such space inserted. This also occurs when I use the label wizard to make labels. The odd thing is that this...
