Hard Drive Replaced - Now Trying to Recover Data from .Win files

[Bob2615]

Hello,

 

My father said his hard drive crashed and he called someone to come to the house. They said there was nothing they could do but replace the hard drive - which he did. It looks like there was a recent back-up but it's in .win files and I do not know how to restore. Can anyone help please?

Hi Ron,  I am not getting to the files I need and think I could benefit from someone doing a remote intervention. Is there someone you could recommend that does this that I could hire? Thank you.

I'm not aware of anyone that specifically does that type of support myself. Sorry about that.

Perhaps a local repair shop?

yep ...

there are a lot of variables to this type of problem and it is best handled by a person that is familiar with what is going on while sitting right at the machine .

an all to real possible scenario :

you make a mistake or oversight on instructions that you have gleaned from someone somewhere ...

the data "disappears" ...

you get to tell your dad what happened .
