Ok, First Let Me State That I Am One Of Those Self Taught Computer Tech’s From The?
October 3rd, 200980’s, so I can be brilliant at some things and, to put it politely, not so brilliant at others and I have recently ran into some of those others, or at least I think I have; When it comes to hardware, I am pretty good I think, but software is easily my weak spot. In the last six odd months I have had a couple of friends ask me to nuke their hard drive and rebuild it because of virus that their kids {cough, cough} got on their computer while surfing the net. Well, no problem, back up all documentation type files, pictures, audio, video and them fdisk, format re-install right. Well it worked of course, the problem was what I happened to stumble a cross when I was backing up their files. Evidently, they had protected these files with MS XP’s security features and they felt I was not able to get to them, how was I able to? The first time was done via start>search and then I broke it down to the individual type of file, the computer was still working, more info to come, out of space.
