Harddisk Bad Block Recovery Tool?

Mar 26, 2009

My laptop's HD seems to have a major bad block. When trying to read certain files the disk always starts clicking and making strange and rather disturbing noises for about 2 minutes before the system fails and I get a blue screen.Fortunately most of these files seem to be in a directory that I only kept "just in case" anyway, i.e. there would be no =
major harm, if these file are lost. I only noticed, that these are corrupted, when trying to read them while making a backup. Alas, that backup never fully ran through due to the problem described.

I am thus seeking a program that tries to read the entire disk (and does not crash, if it gets errors...) and marks files that contain unreadable blocks such that the OS doesn't try to access these any more. As far as I know that should be possible. I once read that there is some kind of bad block list somewhere. Ideally it would also try to read damaged files a certain number of times (e.g. 1000 times or so) trying to recover as much data as possible and if it was able to read entire files it copies their content over to greener pastures. That would allow to minimize the actual data loss.

Best Disaster Recovery Tool?

May 22, 2008

I have a computer that was working very well, but lately when I was working on a important project, there was a power fluctuation for a couple of times (I thought that was normal) but after the last power fluctuation my computer refused to boot up. There seems to be a failure of some kind?..but I need to get the projects back that are still in that disk.

2nd Harddisk For Dv7-3020

Jan 6, 2010

I bought an HP Pavilion DV7-3020sa a week ago which has 2 HDD areas but only
1 HDD fitted.

I have bought an identical HDD to the one already installed to fit into the
2nd drive slot but cannot find anywhere where I can buy the lead to connect
it to the mainboard.

Having now tried over 15 companies, including HP, I am becoming frustrated.
Does anyone know where the lead can be purchased?

It is a SATA socket on one end and a very very small plug on the other and
is only around one inch long. (Please note that it does not connect directly
to the mainboard in the usual clip-in method, it does have a small cable!)

Import Msg.files From External Harddisk

Apr 8, 2009

Our new computer vista home premium, I use windows mail as e-mail (no outlook avaible because I only have Office home/studend edition). On old computer (windows xp) I used Outlook, I copied al my e-mails to an external harddisk, so now I try to open the mail (on ex. harddisk) and can't open them because they are all msg files (?) I searched every where if it is possible to open these files. If I change the extension to open them (e.g. word etc.) it is still abacadabra for me. Maybe I had to change the extension of the e-mails before I copied them to ex.harddisk??? Old computer is gone already so I have a "problem" now. I don't know I this is the right communitie

Slowboot , Harddisk Makes Weird Loud Noice

May 8, 2008

Recently I had a crash while I was playing a game, so I rebooted manually because I had too. From that time, when Vista boots, my harddisk makes a weird loud noice everytime before entering loginscreen and my boottime is extended with +-20sec. I've figured out myself that since the crash ,I watched a startup log and saw that Vista does a quick chkdisk, which would explain the extra noise my HD does just before booting. I've tried everything , from checking for a dirty-bit , disabling autochkddk to even formating my system. But every time my system crashes, the next time it boots , my HD makes a weird noise.

How To Block IPs

Mar 23, 2008

let's say i want to block www.disney.com (199.181.132.250). For that, i enter following command into the shell:

route add 199.181.132.250 192.168.1.254

Subnet is 192.168.1.0/24
192.168.1.254 is unused

In XP the ip and dns is unreachable by browser now. Thats fine. But in vista the same procedure doesn't work. It seems there's just an additional short lag and then the site appears anyway. My guess is vista falls back to a valid route after sensing the invalid route but i don't know for sure.

Parental Control Block

Sep 4, 2009

What happened to my regular msn email application? As of right now, it tells
me that there has been a parental control block on my email, and I can not
receive or send emails. I have numerous emails in que that I would like to
open, and it looks like maybe this stupid microsoft public windows program.
Which by the way, I know nothing about. Please do whatever you have to, to
remove the block on my msn email program. I would like to know that you did
get this message, but am not sure if you could even send it to me. I have
had nothing but problems after problems with your sloppy vista program.
Please tell me how I can get rid of it - I'd rather have XP.

Microsoft Search Filter - Block Or Allow?

Apr 9, 2009

Here's some info on SearchFilterHost:
Brandon Paddock's Blog » Blog Archive » FAQ: Why does WDS / Windows Vista use so many processes?

I guess it's part of 3 Vista "Services" which mostly have to do with indexing. Is this so that Vista can so quickly find files? Is that all it's for? If so, I should be able to permanently block it without any problems, right?

I really don't need Vista to be able to find everything within 2 seconds. I don't look for things that often and when I do I have a pretty good filing system and can get to them on my own pretty quickly.

People are reporting that these 3 services in the article linked above seem to take up a lot of processor power, too.

So has anyone blocked this? What is the best way to do it, and what is the outcome? Will Vista still be able to find things, only a bit slower, or what?

Block Full Internet Access To A Program

Jun 2, 2008

How do I completely block internet access for a program on Windows Vista? Is it possible? I have already tried creating a rule on the Firewall With Advanced Security for both inbound and outbound access using the "New Rule..." wizard. I choose "Program", next I choose the program's location, next I choose "Block the connection", then I check all three profiles and finally a name for the rule. I have created testing rules for both IE and Firefox but they could still access the internet (i.e, the webpages were still loading).

The columns on the firewall control panel show that the rules are enabled, the action is block and all other columns are "Any". I thought it would completely prevent the program from accessing the internet, but it doesn't. Could you guys give me a hand? Is there a way I could make a program to not see the internet (or any network for that matter) at all?
