My computer got hacked last week and I've been reeling from that. So far I got rid of all the messed up files and viruses, but of course, that deleted all the major files that keep Windows running. However, my friend Keith is a technical genius and he suggested I use the Ultimate Boot CD or UBCD. It's a boot CD that runs off the disc drive so windows works, but it's just on a cd. It also contains a huge amount of recovery programs. Sadly, none of them can recover what the antivirus program did, but at least I can see my files. It's like a security blanket that I can just look at but can't touch. I know they are there, I just can't get to them. I would like to just wipe the drive clean and start again but it has all my backup data from the last two terms as well as all the info I have for my website. By the way, my website is up, stewart-thomas.com.
I was hunting for jobs, but lately I've stopped since my computer crapped out on me. I think I have my resume on backup along with some other things, but I just haven't been in the mood.
Luckily my Dad's computer works so I can still check for job related things and ways to fix my computer situation.

Try using the hard drive that failed on you as a SLAVE. Than get another internal and hook it up as the main. You'll of course have to install windows on the new hard drive but the old one should act as a backup drive where you can just cherry pick the files you want from it and put it on the new drive. After all the files have been taken off you can just format it after that.
