Since no one else has answered you, and I have had a similar injury, I thought I'd offer you my experience. I am not a medical expert, just a survivor. My injury was L3 L4, and the disc blew up! In other worded it was not your standard slipped disk. They could not do the laser surgery on me, partly because it was not yet approved but mostly because of the number of disk fragment sthat they had to remove. Prior to the surgery I spent 8 weeks flat on my back while they figured out what was wrong with me, i.e. orthopedics, medical and finally surgical. I had lost all use of my right leg, including the feeling from the hip down, and was starting to loose bowel function. They did the full laminectomy, and sent me home from the hospital the next day. I asked for PT or some kind of rehab but they refused. For the next five years I had to fight on my own to regain use and control of that right leg. For ten years I had a noticable limp. To this day there are certain movements I just cannot do. And the hip is still bad with rampant arthritis. Three years ago I had a relapse, and after the same surgeon did the x-rays and MRI's he said he could not do anything to help me, and that I no have spinal stenosis from L2 down. You should see how little bone mass there is in that picture. It's scary! Anyway, I went to my local gym who has a healthy back program, using Medx equipment. I rehabbed with that program, and am as functional now as I was 5 years after the surgery. If you have a program like that I would seriously check it out before agreeing to surgery. The program at my gym has prevented a lot of surgeries, and has an 85% success rate. They train surrounding muscle to support the bones, and carry the weight. We once trained a dog the same way who was born with hip dysplasia bad enough they wanted to put him to sleep in his first year. He lived to 17, and passed away as a result of an auto injury, not his hips.\nSorry this was so long but your husband needs to know there are options to surgery, and not just PT. Good luck and feel better. I do understand your pain and confusion.

Your HDD is probably no good. The drive has crashed. The MBR on the drive has a problem. The MBR is where the operating system lives. You'll say "why, it's brand new!" but, that is really the best thing that could happen! It's under warranty, and you will get a new HDD out of it. Infantile demise in computers is a fairly  common occurrence. They will usually fail within the first thirty days of ownership. When I build a computer, I run a memory test on it overnight. That's called a "burn in" if somethings gonna fail, it will fail at this point. I would suggest that when you get the computer back from repairs, set up the screen saver and leave it on overnight.

I smashed a soft drink machine (cooler) after it took my 50c and gave me nothing.\nThe other one, the other one knows about it.

Yes, but if you've already written over the sectors where the data was stored, it's most likely beyond doing it yourself. STOP using the drive immediately and you may still be able to recover some data. There is a free data recovery program called Zero Assumption Recovery that you can try. Another program called Getdataback For NTFS ($100) is a better option than a freeware program.

Most of the flash disks nowadays are very reliable in the sense that they dare to give 5 years warranty. So for your case, if the damage was not caused by your mishandling, just check with the shop you bought the thing to see whether can make a warranty claim.

Remove it from Bios and try, not so sure it'll work, cos drive B is reserved for secondary Floppy Disk Drive.\n\nGood Luck :)

Not worth the effort. Guessing u want to dump "trashed" computer rather than get rid of the "horse". I'd get rid of the horse and save the computer. The other optionis "scrap" the hd (as thats only place the horse lives) and stick a blank (cheep used) ("F" disc it first and don't put anything on it) drive in it, and sell it for what ever....

If you gotta ask............... I would advise not doing it! You might end up blowind a disc or something.

copying is illegal....yeah yeah yeah... but...\n\nmost producers of kiddy disks will replace kids disks for a nominal charge. they often don't even require that you return the broken disk!

Just this past winter. Mine was having major problems due to a virus (tried everything to clean it off but it was still acting funny) so I moved all my important docs and pics to my husbands computer. Then I redid my computer and  moved them back. Was still acting funny so I decided to reformat both my c and d drive. Moved everything over but I forgot to move my pictures the second time. Lost all the pictures of my kids when they were young, pictures from trips we took, lots of pictures. \n\nMy husband died this summer and I only have what was printed out. I kept meaning to back them up on DVD.  Backup anything important....do it at least every few months.

That depends on how it crashed. Plug it in as a slave drive and see if you find it in my computer. If its there, open it and copy the files you want. If windows doesnt see it, the unit has crashed mechanically and the only hope is to pay someone out the bum to retrieve the info. This may not even work when all is said and done.

How weird --- I was just reading the "FACTS" (not opinions)\nabout this subject this afternoon.\nIt can cause a head crash resulting from cigarette smoke inside the hard drive.\n\nhere is a link to some info on the subject = http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=791&page=2

There is a software that aids you in doing so .... you need to search for the same depending on your OS. Else you need to consuly a Data Recovery Specialist.\nSearch for File recovery Software\n\nCheck this site out...\nhttp://www.digitalfilerecovery.com/?gclid=CMvDoM6ThIUCFQ94SAodDTo15g

Not easily.\n\nYour best bet would be a professional data recovery firm - it'll be kind of pricey, so only do it if the data is really important.\n\nIf you were handy with a soldering iron, you could buy a new, identical flash drive, open the case, take off the memory chip, solder on the one from your broken drive, and hope it works long enough to get your data off.\n\nGood luck

You could however use a disk wipe program that would make it next to impossible to get data back.\nlink:\nhttp://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,22920-order,1-page,1-c,alldownloads/description.html\n\nI think that is the way you would want to go, the charity gets a complete  computer and you have a high level of security.\n\n\n\nThe only sure way to protect your data is to take out the drive.\nalmost all files after a normal format can be recovered with minimal effort.

i haven't but came close. back when i was in second grade i was in a store and was in the sports area, when i saw a 20 pound free weight laying on the ground. then i tried to put it back on the shelf but it slipped out of my hands and i dropped on my left big tow. yes it hurt a lot but amazingly it wasn't broken but smashed and very badly bruised. as a result i had to get a splint for my foot and eventually the tow nail fell off.
