Embedded Hardware
Hello
I have a new Acer aspire1414 laptop. It gave me a ‘Read Error’ and aborted Test when I attempted an HD Tune test. I tried rebooting and defragmenting. But I still get this error. It doesn’t get a crash and it can play games at a good speed. Additionally, the BIOS of this system have been maintained at the default optimal level. The HD Tune error check that I ran also appears to be fine. But when I try to run HD Tune Benchmark, I get this ‘Read Error’. Is this indicative of my hard disk health? Is there anything that I should be concerned of? Somebody please help me. Thanks a lot for your valuable help. Regards

Hello experts,
When looking at my camera, the videos and images are still there. But I cannot get it anymore when I connect it on my computer. The images and video files are stored on my SanDisk 4GB SDHC. I'm not sure what happened but I was able to get my files before this on my Mac PC. I tried other cables and a memory card reader. But it won't recognize the card. What should I do? Can I recover my files?
