310_cutty Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 Sup guys, I just recently had my HD give out on me but luckily Dell sent me a new one free of charge.(I just have to return the damaged one) Well I got the DH yesterday installed it and its working fine. Now is there a way for me to transfer all my data from the old hard drive into the new one?? I would also like to completely erase the HD before returning it to Dell. Thanks...

techforce Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 if the drive actualy failed... then the only way is a clean room for recovery... not worth it... cheapest one I know of is about $375 to recover data... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
