Hello,
I had to replace a hard drive on a new computer. It was not backed up.
A recovery disk and new harddrive was sent. I transferred everything but got all the way to the point of configuring windows for new computer. Then it would state must re-install...then administrater locked screen would appear but with no way to enter password.
A new recovery disc was sent and installed. Problem is i can't find anything from my old harddrive. Where can i look for files to recover them.Are they still on the old hard drive?
Thanks,
Gary
