• Installing windows and it says that driver is missing, not drives

  You could, for example, boot your computer to an operating system which resides on a USB stick, and then examine the health of your existing drive.... Booting to something like Parted Magic, since it has most of the tools you'd need for "fixing" hard drives, already included with the OS. All that would take, is a USB stick, and a computer to download and mount the image on the stick (with a program like YUMI). Source: 10 months ago

• Need help putting unallocated space to windows partition, any help would be appreciated

  But, ranting aside, you can use either * GParted Live, or * PartedMagic To boot into a linux OS and modify the drive's partitions. Specifically you'll want to move the “D:” disk partition to make the unallocated space next to the disk partition you want to extend. Source: 10 months ago

• I want to destroy a hdd(question). I threw it from a balcony 3m tall. Dunked it in water for like 10 days. Can I throw that thing in the trash knowing in the absurd chance someone picks it up, can't recover something?

  For future reference, running something like Active KillDisk or Parted Magic against the drive multiple passes should be more than sufficient to prevent most all recovery unless you're dealing with a government entity. Source: 11 months ago

• I borked my boot partitions. Any idea how/if I can fix?

  For a universal live USB try system-rescue.org. This is my favorite and can do practically anything. Source: 12 months ago

• Trustworthy hard drive (yes, HDD) recovery?

  My wife's hard drive (Windows) had a critical failure. I'm recovering some of its content using my limited understanding of the tools at system-rescue.org. But it's mostly beyond me and can't risk just experimenting. Source: about 1 year ago
