Recover Data from an Unformatted Drive
About 11 months ago, I purchased a Windows Vista-equipped HP Pavillion laptop. Recently, the fan stopped functioning, which made it impossible for me to access Windows. Due to the disk's indication of being unformatted, the store cannot recover the data (corrupt). Can I restore disk data from my laptop that won't boot?
