给你的硬盘做冷冻处理

Dear How-To Geek,

I’m in trouble, big time. My PC (HP Pavilion Desktop) seemingly has a hardware failure; it’s old, so this is understandable, but the hardware that failed happens to be the hard drive. I can get to BOIS, and sometimes boot to Windows, (in safe mode)but Norton Anti-Virus shuts the computer down due to instability after only five minutes.

I was wondering if you guys had some magic solution to saving all the data on the failing hard drive. I have tried the hard drive in another XP Desktop computer but it failed to recognize it (I used it as the slave, which is usually occupied by another hard drive, so I know that the connection is fine) If it involves using other hardware, I have two other XP machines desktop computers, at least one spare hard drive, two Windows 7 netbook computers and access to a Vista desktop Computer if need be. Please help if you can, it would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Dying Drive in Denver

亲爱的死亡之路，

硬盘故障就在那里，PSU爆炸是最严重的硬件故障。如果驱动器有绝对不能丢失的关键数据（因为你需要它来处理法律案件，或者如果你丢失了它IRS会用螺丝刀杀死你），我们建议你首先考虑专业的数据恢复服务。专业的数据恢复服务并不便宜，但你能为不被G-man用螺丝刀刺伤而付出代价吗？

如果数据对您来说很重要，但又不足以花$$$将其取回，您可以尝试一种许多人都认为成功的DIY技术：深度冻结驱动器。这是非常规的，这是最后的努力，它甚至可能不起作用，但在适当的条件下，它可以保持驱动器的生命足够长的时间来保存您的数据。请在以下网址查看本指南：tl80.cn阅读更多。

Still Got Stock Wallpaper in San Francisco

亲爱的股票，

我们不会给你任何悲伤；每个人都开始在某个地方学习，并不是每个人都是几十年的电脑爱好者。我们假设您使用的是某些版本的Windows，可能是Windows XP或Windows 7。您可以在此处阅读如何更改Windows7和WindowsXP的墙纸图像。

当你在它，我们建议抓住一些工具，以利用有一个像约翰的墙纸切换器在我们以前的一个指南功能大墙纸收藏的优势。很快你就会从一个小时打开一张又一张的壁纸！

通过电子邮件发送短信

Dear How-To Geek,

Is there anyway to email a text message? I have an application that can send out an email alert. I want to be able to receive the alert anywhere I am. I order for that to happen it has to be sent to my phone as a text message. Is there anything I can to do bridge that gap between emailing and texting? For what it’s worth my cellphone provider is Sprint. Thanks!

Sincerely,

PC Phone Home
