David Lawrence: Yeah. In terms of the drive as it sits right now if you can see that on the other machine then the drive maybe just fine you just need to have the driver updated on the original machine. If you take a drive from an older version of Windows like Windows 98 where the drive is laid out in FAT32 rather than NTFS and try to read it on a new system, there could be problems, I don*t know. I don*t know why the drive was taken out of the Dell to begin with. But the driver for that hardware needs to be taken into account as well. Again I am not seeing the connection between restoring the hives in a registry. A hive is nothing more than a collection of registry keys and entries and values and whatnot. That*s where I know the phrase hives and when you said they wanted me to fix my hard drive using restore hives, I went well why I don*t get that. I would use, go ahead.

Jeff: They thought there was a problem with the Windows so--

David Lawrence: With Windows itself? Wouldn*t other things have, I mean that one hard drive would not be singled out with an error in Windows.

Jeff: Okay.

David Lawrence: I mean you would have problems with all your hardware if there was an issue. But I would use a piece of software like Norton Utilities and I would examine that drive on the new machine as an external drive in the enclosure. I would take Norton Utilities and use disk doctor to examine the drive, see if the drive was damaged.

Jeff: Okay so that*s something like running CheckDisk?

David Lawrence: No it*s like running CheckDisk but it*s a lot more intensive so.

Jeff: Okay.

David Lawrence: Back in a moment.
