I am working on a laptop that had XP with a bad virus and a hard disc that does not power up from time to time... I wanted to recover the Documents, Pictures and Music. I Thought I got all the data, but after I reformatted and installed Kubuntu I noticed that some of the picture files were not on the USB that I had backed them too...
#1 ? is there a way to get those picture now that Kubuntu is on the disk?
#2 ? I am assuming that since I was getting some errors when I was backing up some pictures that those pictures are the ones that I no longer have. So is it just plan impossible?
ps the hard disk still does not function consistently if that helps...
thank you
