Corrupted data on IDE drive

We have an old PC in the house from maybe the early 2000's. We were using it up until about 07, and haven't used it since. However, it does have a lot of old family photos on.

Recently I tried to boot up the PC to no avail. Open up the casing, and most of the component "blocks" were rusted and very loose. Wonderful. I strip everything down and manage to remove the IDE drive. Thankfully, there is no damage on this at all and it looks to be in fine working condition.

After a request on here on the best way to get data off this drive, I purchase an IDE enclosure and hook the whole thing up to my PC. The drive is whirring away fine, my PC recognises that the drive is connected - but it says the data is corrupted.

Any way at all to get the data off this drive? Any software to "uncorrupt" the data? Any help is appreciated.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
