well i have gotten a new computer for christmas and my old laptop (KDS) was getting kinda screwy. I had all my family pictures on the old comp (with no backup since the floppy disk drive didnt work and there was no CD burner) and was starting to transfer them to my new one with thumbdrives. i decided to go get an external hard drive (40Gb) and i left the old comp running while i went to the store to get it. My DW came in and saw a blue screen that said dumping internal memory while i was gone and shut it down. Now it says no operating system found when we turn it on. I was going to reboot it with the recovery disk that i have but it said it would delete everything so i didnt do that. what's my next step to recover all my pictures?????????? or is there even a chance to do so? the pictures are all of from when my son was born (2004) to now and while some family may have some of them i know i can't get copies of all of them.
