I searched for answers, honest I really did.
A friends computer has one IDE HD that will not boot, its a XP machine. When booting, it goes through the bios then it says HD not found. I tried using the dell recovery disk and it shows in dos that the drive is there, but empty. I am going to take out the HD and stick it in my machine, so my question is, what kind of tools should I download? I really don't want to buy any data recovery software, google is full of ads for them. Any help is greatly appreciated. I am mainly looking to get whatever data there is and transfer it to my HD.
