(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); my computer keeps giving me this blue screen everytime i turn on my desktop and it ask me to put my reboot cd but i dont have it. one day i decided to change the harddrive to the modem, and it works, it went all the way to the window screen. the worst part is all my photos and music and movie is in my old harddrive, is there a way i can retreive those files?

and it makes these beeping sounds after i turn it on

Well if you can hear your hard rive making like clicking sounds that generally means its a bad hard drive. I would recommend trying to reinstall windows or even download linux online if you can't get a windows 7 cd. Other than that I guess you could try using a program called recuva to see i there is anything left on the bad hard drive but I am not 100% sure you will be able to do that but might as well try.

If you can get to the login screen but no further it's your hard drive. Also when it beeps at you count the beeps and look up what they mean then number of beeps tells you the problem it is a hardware problem though.

To recover the files, try leaving the hard drive aside and trying it at a later date/a few days later, it might work a little better but it's more than likely that you've lost the files for good and you know know the importance of periodic back-ups.

Won't work any better now than in two days. What he needs to do is externally plug it in with another hard drive, try and access the data on the hard drive and off load it.

I can't hear at all due to deafness and when hard drive fail, I can feel the vibrate or odd behavior like tight or heavy, so I know it is failure.
