Ok so ive got a few problems...

1: Ive got a hard drive, that somehow malfunctioned for my friend, so he says he'll give me 100$ to get some important files off of it, i also get to keep the drive. Thats not the problem. The drive is. So I installed the drive correctly and its showing up in My Computer. But its just Local Drive E: and i cant open it because it asks me to format it. So I'm stuck
How to I get files from a hard drive without formating it ?
I could definitely use that 100$..

2: This is a minor one.. Theres this game call phun that i'd like to try. but I cant open it.. I've tried running in compatibility mode, ive tried downloading a C++ thing that it reccommended.. If anyone knows what to do that'd be great

3:When ever I play a game (such as Portal, TF2, and others not HL2 for some reason.) the game restarts my comp ! whats up with that.. I got a RAM chip upgrade now i have 2.68GB of ram.. Games still restart my computer..

4: How can you use 2 monitors at once ? i have 2 available, i used some card from another computer that has the monitor plugin, but it just shows the same thing twice, i was thinking i could have like an extended desktop and some extra space for open window programs.

I'll definitely +rep when I get help. Possibly twice for a working solution for the first one

anybody know where that desu internet fad came from ?

1) I dont know

2) Sounds like a faulty game or you need to install a certain thing... Search around Phun support help.

3)Maybe your computer graphics card is shit and cannot handle those games... If the graphics card gets to hot your PC might restart, please post your Specs!

4)Depends on your graphics card. Tell me it, and i can help.

Okay you cannot do dual monitors if you dont have like two VGA/DVI ports... What am i talking about?

On the back of your computer, if you see 1 VGA port (a VGA port is the port where you plug in your monitor)... you cannot do it...

If you see two DVI or see two VGA ports you can... Or 1 DVI and 1 VGA... Also i think 1 DVI and 1 S-Video will work... and 1 VGA and 1 S-Video....

If there are not two (which i am almost 100 percent sure there is not) you cannot do dual monitors...

Thanks bam for clearing that up for me, i was wondering where i was gonna put the other monitor in (upon reading this it sounds like sarcasim, which it is not.) I asked a guy at a store he says i need another card to put in.

3. I have the same problem with the third question aswell.. I've been playing the same game for over 1.5 years about, and just starting about 2 weeksago, while playing the game my computer started shutting off on me for some reason. When I tried to turn it back on, it would just simply shut off again.. I go on Safe Mode and scan the computer for any viruses, but never find any.. Then go back on Normal Mode and when even I play the game again - it'll randomly shut off whenever it wants to. So I don't think it's my gphix crd that's the problem... Any other ideas?

Do you know exactly where the files were kept? If you do, you might be able to recover them... it's kind of a pain in the ass though.

We'll say you have "ImportantFile.txt" saved on your desktop on your main drive (C:, by default) drive and you want to move it to a file on your slave drive (E:, by default).

Assuming you're running windows XP (probably is the same for Vista too)):
start>Run...>cmd

Now, still going off of our previous scenario, and assuming we're on the default user account (admin), type:
copy "C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\ImportantFile.txt" "E:\ImportantFile.txt"

Of course, you're trying to recover a file, so something like:
copy "E:\FilePath\Filename.extension" "C:\Recovered_Files\Filename.extension" should work.

This might work to recover the corrupted file. The only problem is you must know the exact directory the file is saved in, and you need to copy each file individually. If you or your friend knows/can tell you that, you've made yourself an easy 100 bucks and a hard drive.

Refresh if you can't see the rather redundant attachment.

as for your HDD problem i had the same thing, you have to open command prompt

Start>Run>cmd
and then type in
chkdsk E: /f

then itll say cant lock the drive, do you want to check the disk when the computer restarts, yes obvioulsy. when you restart it should come up with a blue screen and go through some checking. Then it should be readable after youve logged on.

Hope that helped

If he's lucky yeah... chkdsk only does very basic repairs... if his HDD is faulty, or a system file/registry is screwed then it won't fix it for him.

Dont matter anymore. His mom started being mean to me so I got pissed and formatted it. Rofl. I returned it and said i couldent figure it out. now theyre paying a professional 200$ to take a hard drive and tell them that there never was anything on it.
