Disaster Recovery
Hello there,
As a new user of llabview website, I want to explore everything that goes with this one. I was trying to communicate with HH506R omega thermometer using serial port communication. Then, I decided to use the parameters (such as Parity, baud rate, sto bits) because it's written in the manual. And luckily, I could write the data from the write string when it responded. But unfortunately, while returning the data, a framing error showed up. Also, I am not getting the read string in terms of ASCII characters.
It's just a random character which I don't know how to convert into ASCII format. I am using the Basic serial write and read VI from NI. Is there any way to convert the hexadecimal into ASCII characters?

My elder sister had a defective PC because the hard disk had stopped working. The 120 GB hard drive never made any noise. It just stopped working. She bought a new hard drive and reinstalled the Windows XP Service Pack 2 and then the PC is up and running again. But the problem is, she saved a lot of her documents in the hard drive. Yesterday, she gave me the hard disk and asked me to assist her in recovering the documents from the drive.

Hi!
I have a Toshiba satellite. But, recently due to some virus, my whole hard drive got corrupted and now, it won’t start up.
To solve the issue, I contacted Toshiba people on the Internet. After listening to my problem, they recommended that I should do a system restore from the CDs they provided with the laptop. Since I have lost them, I bought some from best buy, but now I don’t know how to run them to recover my files and to make my computer functional again.
Anyone who knows how to use these CDs? Please help me, since best buy didn’t give me much on what to do with them.

I have a Compaq mini 110 with Windows XP installed. I accidentally compressed the hard drive when I was trying to get some free space, so XP didn't start anymore.
I'm trying to do the Disaster Recovery based on the instructions in my manual. I've created the Disaster Recovery boot program (SP42226.exe) for my USB memory stick and it starts the Roxie BackOnTrack program. But the problem is, it asks for a "Restore Set" (*.SIB_DR) and I can't find files anywhere. Should I create this file when the OS was working and back it up to an external drive, or can I find this restore set somewhere, and perhaps create one with another PC? What folder would those Roxie backontrack sib_dr files be located?

I have lost important data from my laptop's hard drive. I tried to use data recovery software, but I was unable to restore them. I need the right solution. I am 100% sure that my hard disk is working fine, but I accidentally formatted one of the partitions of my hard drive. I checked the recycle bin, but my data was not there.
What should I do?

I have a very important file in my laptop that I need to access. But the problem is, I forgot my administrator's password. I tried to login using my other username that has only limited access. Still. I failed to login even after I restart my computer and run it in safe mode. It is useless because I don't have an administrator account that I can use to login.
My folder is in-accessible in any way. I'm really running out of options here.
Can anyone help me on this.

Hello,
I have an HDD notebook with 160 GB IDE. Sometimes, I connect it to a USB port using external HDD Case. The problem is, several weeks ago, it was accidentally dropped by a friend of mine after he unplugged it from the USB port. And ever since it happened, every time I tried to plug it in to a USB port, it always make a clicking sound and cannot be loaded inside Windows. I have checked the BIOS and apparently, the HDD was recognized by the BIOS system. But after login to Windows system, it did not load properly.

I have several questions here, and I hope someone can provide me with the best solution .
- As a user of PC, how can I recover my data when my hard drive crashes?
- If the crash is not big, is it possible to recover the data trapped in the bad sector. And may I know if it is possible to fix the bad sector?
- If possible, how can it be done for a cheap cost??
- I have once seen that the scan disk of the Windows OS can fix some of the bad sectors. Is this true?
I have a hard drive of Samsung with a 250 GB which got some bad sectors, so it's urgent. Please give me an answer.

My computer starts to hang, crash and encounter blue screen (BSOD). Prior to that, my computer was running fine, so I thought it was just an operating systems' (OS) problem. Then, I decided to format my computer. But when I tried to install the OS after formatting, the installation stops and display blue screen.
I already tried different installers and operating systems but I still encountered the same problem.
