Howdy all,
A family member's PC decided to go belly-up. The RAM fried. That didn't smell too good.
So I'm building a new system and I want to transfer as much of the contents as possible from the old HD to the new HD. However, when I connect the HD to my PC using an external USB enclosure, my system BSOD's with an error in ntfs and the memory dumps. When I connect it directly as a slave on the PATA cable, it reboots in a loops.
I guess it's possible that it was permanently damaged somehow by the frying RAM, but does anybody have any other ideas on how I might try to access it (aside from a trip to the cleanroom)? I'm not ready to give up on it yet.
