My mom is pretty good at killing

Post by Jonnywizard »

the computers that I have built for her.

The latest victim was a EP-MVP3G2 with a + chip in it. I don't know what the hell she does to them. The HD that was in there is formatted dynamic and I plugged it in to an external enclosure to try to pull the data to my server and can't see any of the contents. Even if I buy her a new computer, how do I get the data off the HD to transfer it to the new one?

UGH!! I HATE being tech support for the family.

Me, I use a hot swap tray, and data recovery software. Don't know anything about "Dynamic Drives" though, so don't know what works there.

Last resort... tell your Mom she killed the HDD too, are the safety features enabled in the BIOS of your Mom's computers to shut down on fan failure overheating etc.?
