My brother in laws computer has crashed due to a powercut. As a result windows wont boot up past the first screen, obviously something has corrupted in the OS.
From experience, fucking about with the recovery console and restoring backed up hive / sam files is dangerous and can render part os the file system unaccessible, even by data revovery software.
What i have recommended he do is get a new hdd in there, install the OS (XP) and then access the old hdd to get to his data etc.
Anyhow, i basically need to get a hdd over to him (in Italy) asap.
Any recommendations on postage / couriers / etc ?
appreciated
