Title: Memory recovery
Post by: Sorunome on November 03, 2011, 04:40:51 am

Hi, unfortunately my hard-drive is somehow now broken and I have important Data on it. Well, I wanted to ask if it is possible to somehow still recover the Memory, so I can still et to this Data.
While booting it says either that it can't find the hard-drive or it boots into grup and there it can't find the hard-drive. I also tried to boot with a ubuntu live-cd and then recover there the memory with GParted and that also couldn't detect a hard-drive.
Please help me!
