The data isn't stored on Yahoo's servers. Without the HDD the data is on you're SOL.

Not lately. My hard drive got nuked, so now I'm on my daughter's machine. You know the one, it can only handle messenger, OR anything else? Messenger AND something else crashes it every time...

Ignore the noobs who say nothing can be done.\n\nYou can try this software\nhttp://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/uk/download.htm\n\nOr, if you are prepared to pay real money, there are a range of professional 'data recovery' firms who can get data off almost any drive. Not cheap but possible.\n\n///

That is extremely bad news, a few years ago it would be the worst. I'm afraid what you'll have to do is reformat the drive. \n\nFortunately all is not lost as there are two pieces of software that will recover the data from the drive after this has taken place.\n\nGetDataBack and Ontrack Easy Recovery - I've used GetDataBack before in the same situation and found it works brilliantly.\n\nThe best of luck, and next time remember to back up to DVD or CD.

wut u could do is not open up any messages in your bulk folder, erase the ones that are existing. OR you could go to a puter shop& they can clean the hard drive for you;)

What I would do is re-install Windows and all your software on the new HD and slave your current crashed HD without formatting see if you can recover any data from it.  Here are instructions on HD installation. http://www.basichardware.com/HowTo_Install_Hard_Drive.html

If it was an online e-mail like Yahoo, GMail or Hotmail, then no. You're out of luck.\n\nIf you're truely desperate and the e-mails were downloaded to your home computer (for instance with AOL) then you can try to recover the deleted files from your hard drive.\n\nBut unless you installed something like Norton Unerase *before* you accidentaly deleted them this is very difficult. A professional will do it, but that costs big bucks.

Almost any file can be restored. Try searching Yahoo! or Google for "Download Free Data Recovery Software" (without quotes) or go here http://www.soft32.com/download_7508.html\n\nSearch for part of the subject and it should come up eventually

nope,your old computer is already obsolete, maybe u can use th HD with the only purpose of recover ur old data but probably will void the warranty in ur  new PC... just format ur old computer and donate it to a kid for homeworks, that  will make u feel better...

You have to install special data recovery software. Go to Download.com and search for "recover deleted files." You'll get a list of programs to try for free. When you find the one that suits you, then buy it.

You may have a corrupt file in your Messenger directory. \nTo fix the problem, you must manually delete the Messenger directory on your C: drive (default), then reinstall the Messenger program. \nClose the Messenger program & make sure all instances of Internet Explorer are closed. \n\nGo to your desktop and double-click on My Computer. \nClick on C: drive. \n\nGo to: \n\nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Yahoo!&#92; \nHighlight the Messenger folder and press the Delete key on your keyboard. (All archives will be deleted if they are not copied. Please see below.) \nThe next step is to install: \nClose all running programs except for your Internet browser. \n\nPlease visit the Messenger home page: \nhttp://messenger.yahoo.com/ \n\nClick the Get it now button. \nTo copy your complete Message Archive: \nClose Messenger (if it is currently running). \n\nGo to your Desktop and double-click My Computer. \nSelect the C: drive. \n\nGo to: \n\nC:&#92;Program Files&#92;Yahoo!&#92;Messenger&#92;Profiles \nYour Profiles folder contains your complete Message Archive. Copy it to the same location on another machine if you wish to view it elsewhere.

If you have already emptied the recycle bin, then I would say no you can't recover files you wanted...\nIf you still have them in the recycle bin, then all you need to do is restore them to where they were beforehand...

I am guessing you made the system backup using Windows XP so you should be able to restore it the same way.  Go to START > PROGRAMS > ACCESSORIES > SYSTEM TOOLS > BACKUP.  You will then see an option to restore from a backup.\n\nI hope this is what you're looking for.\n\nGood luck!
