    Just a word of warning, my computer started doing that more and more over the last month and then bang my hard drive completely failed, crashed, died!! 

    I'd run a diagnostics/chkdsk on your system and take a backup. I lost all the data on my computer including family pictures etc 

    Hopefully ill be back on the tables tomorrow after a week out sorting it

    Hi jd
    Did you know in most cases you can recover those pics if you plug it in as a secondary hard drive?

    I've had many a bad hard drive over the years that wouldn't boot an operating system, but seams to be able to read as a secondary drive.

    Might be worth a shot m8

    Good luck

    +1 

    and even if the secondary hard drive cannot recover them, it can be done by a specialist, can't quite remember offhand the name of the process, but I had to do it a couple of years ago when the mother board fried.

    Its costly (about £500) but definitely worth it IMO (like you I had all my kids and family photos on there) I now back up frequently and store photos etc on an external drive.

    Only if you made a ghost image in the first place.

    If you cant sort it let me know and i'll see what I can do, I have a bit of experience with data recovery.

    Hi JD

    It could be just the motherboard that had gone.

    Get yourself a hard drive caddy on ebay. Stick ur harddrive in it and then it appears as a external harddrive.

    They are only a few quid.

    If it has been wiped there are a few programs that you can use to recover the data. I use one in work that is free which is quite good only problem is it recovers absolutly everything so you could end up with a few thousand files. 

    Hendrick 500 quid WOW maybe i should quit my IT job and start up my own business :)

    Hi all i took it to a local pc repair shop and they managed to get a lot of the stuff off the hard drive thankfully. 

    Apart from that im having an absolute nightmare. I bought a new hard drive and went reinstalling windows vista... Didn't go so well. Kept failing trying to run Windows updates. 3 separate sessions with Microsoft remotely access my machine didnt help so lost it today abd just took it to the pc place and got them to install Windows 7. Picked it up about 30 mins ago turned it on got a message "windows updates failed reverting changes"!! Immediately regretted not trying it in the shop. Its currently trying to install 180 updates. 

    Really had enough of this now!! 

    Stuarty- i ran all manner of diagnostic checks but never found a problem with the motherboard, could it still be the motherboard? Is there a separate test i can do on the motherboard?

    Hi JD, It's quite normal to get a few failed updates when you reinstall your OS.
    Make sure all your drivers are installed and upto date, chipset, graphics, network, audio being the main ones.
    You can check all your drivers by looking in device manager.
    Also make sure you update flash player and install anti virus, Microsofts free security essentials is fine.

    Hi JD

    If the PC is booting up then wouldnt think its the motherboard. Usually there is a light on the motherboard which comes on when power is getting to it. Sometimes it can be a power issue. 

    By the sounds of it you might be right with it being a hard drive issue especially if it was booting up ok. Joe bloggs is correct sometimes some windows updates do fail wouldnt worry too much about it. Also Joe said make sure all teh device manager stuff is upto date.
