[Abdsalamah]

Guys. Today i launched my pc. everything went fine. but when launching utorrent. it says.. umm my pc is in arabic. and google translate doesn't translate the words correctly. what did i understand is: "Cannot open the resume file. maybe you lost some data." UMM. does this because my HDD ? is it removing my data ? I'm Scared because the HDD got 30 bad sectors. and i think it's during it's ending life. Sooo. do you think guys it's my HDD or it's normal ?? Please answer. i am so scared. my HDD got so much important data on it. and i won't them erased ! (sorry for my bad english. Forgive me)

Hello Abdsalamah mate have a go with this to get the data back before the drive goes belly up
BOOTABLE UBUNTU
Make a bootable Ubuntu disk Get Ubuntu | Download | Ubuntu
Set the BIOS to boot from the optical when the machine boots it will show you a screen with TRY or INSTALL > select TRY not INSTALL
When it is finished - it takes very little time you will get a screen like in the pic .
Open the drive you want > User and dig down until you get to the data / settings you may be able to copy / paste the material you want to an external source or other installed drive doing this.
I am not sure if it will but I have recovered tons of data etc using this method both on "dead" or just plain drives that you cannot get data from using Windows.

There is another option but I find the Ubuntu a little quicker to do not that the Linux is no good just takes a little more setting up. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/287439-emergency-kit-save-your-files-dead-os.html

Hi:

Is this the same computer for which you created what looks like an identical, duplicate post here:

If so, perhaps the forum mod team may merge/combine them, to reduce confusion and clutter.

Cheers,
