ndmmxiaomayi SG If you want to recover your data, try using Knoppix. I'm not too sure if it works on NTFS drives, but FAT32 drives will work, because NTFS is a propriety format by MS. http://www.shockfamily.net/cedric/knoppix/ http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1697,1918391,00.asp

the_fallen SG Perhaps it's due to your sister anyhow download softwares and programmes which caused it to hang or have errors which is very common since i have friends who complained that their silblings.. recovery works only when the computer is still able to have some start up propably and get to the desktop menu. i would suggest that you reformat your computer, thus you can re-install the whole softwares again and this time, you add additiona user options thus you can control what your sister can do with the computer by limiting the access that your sis uses in her profile.
