Re: Back up back up back up
As others have said there is a good chance of recovering data from the old drive. My daughter unintentionally pressed a RCD test button and knocked all the power off just as my computer was booting up last week which prevented me from re-booting the O/S. It would not even boot in safe mode. This was just the system drive as all my data is on other drives and backed up etc. However, I tried the Recovery disk supplied with the computer and it offered two choices a. Do nothing b. Format the disk and start again. This is not very helpful and I am sure many people follow the latter course and lose their data for good. It is better to buy a new drive and install the O/S then you should be able to connect the old drive and recover all or most of the data. In my case I had used Acronis back up software so I was able to recover to the last back up.
Best of luck with your recovery and dont give up on getting your pics back yet.
