Recovering from Total Data Loss

Note: You should be an advanced user before attempting to
recover from total data loss without assistance.

Before You Begin

Before you attempt this recovery procedure, be absolutely certain
that the lost data is not recoverable from your computer:
If a virus has infected your computer, try using anti-virus
■
software to undo damage and restore your computer.
If a cable or hard disk card has failed, data on the hard disk may
■
still be valid and available. Ask your Network Administrator
for assistance.
Consult with your Network Administrator or technical support
department if you have questions.
Note: If the hard disk has stopped functioning, replace the
drive before continuing.
