Assuming you can get the data off, it's going to be WAY cheaper to put a new hard drive in that laptop rather than replacing the entire laptop. If a sudden shock caused data loss, I'd assume that the disk is beyond usefulness and thank my lucky stars if I could get any data off. -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
