So my parents have an old dell that has a hard drive with precious data on it. It had windows XP on it, and was not responding properly, and would not boot up into windows XP mode. At the time when they asked for my help, knowing the data contained tons of pictures, I decided to leave it alone. I was not experienced enough to extract any data, without any OS bootable basically. Now the day has come when I need those pictures off the hard drive. When I say it's 10 years old, it might be less. It's also attached to one of those old dell computers, and dell loves making everything difficult. So my question is, is the data still on there if it was not touched in a very long time? Is it extractable if so how do I do so? Is this a job better suited for a data recovery expert? Please let me know!
