reformat hd before recovery?


.

I recently recovered my computer, went through all all kinds of crazy, amazingly my external hd which had my vital backups chose to fail concurrently.

I then had to recover my files from the sixth dimension of space-time, and I got a new external drive and am copying them on there as we speak.

Now my question is concerning the recovery I did:

It did something weird and in disk management it was saying I had two hard drives of the same size as the one in my laptop, which is obviously bogus. I want to do another recovery after I’m finished backing up my barely saved files.

Can I format my hd before doing the recovery to make sure everything is wiped clean? Or do I have to just startup with the recovery disk and hope it does it right this time?

I would really like to wipe the hd before doing the recovery if possible?

If you’re thinking about wiping your disk then doing file recoveries, don’t. Most probably you won’t get your files back. If you’re thinking about wiping your disk then doing system recovery, well, don’t. It’s pointless to do system recovery when your system is already wiped off. Is that what you meant?

most free stuff sucks, so if you don’t want to pay for something I’d say go pirate fraps (you never specified your opinion on legality)

mac book pro ( www.apple.com ) by a long shot ( small of that I would suggest the new hp or sony intel duo latops as they are dual core :)

Best place for price and details would be there websites ( www.hp.com or www.sony.com ) I am high and mighty those are the right sites, if not google them :)

Not sure if hp have brought out dual core ones but I know sony have. also samsung and IBM are 2 other excellent manufacturers so they would be worth while looking at.

If you want reviews, get the whatlaptop magazine ( www.whatlaptop.co.uk )

Thats incorrect with regards to macs being expensive ( equate the cost of a mac versus the cost of a pc ) you have to buy windows xp pro , as well as the software with the laptop ( normally you only get xp home with a laptop ) and even then you still have to buy firewalls, anti virus unless you use free ones.

equate the license costs of mac os x versus xp pro professional ? Huge difference …… I reflect so !!

Now how much does the software come to on a mac versus on a pc ?

Ok you have to buy office if you want to use it and virtual pc ( ilife06 you get for free if you buy a mac in the first place )

But buying office you would have to do when you get a pc anyhow and the same goes for virtual pc.

On a mac you get a firewall as part of the os ( You do on windows but the windows firewall and antivirus and securtity sucks in a word )

I mean equate the cost of a mac book pro ( £1700 pounds ) if you go for the higher end one versus how much a sony or samsung or any other windows laptop would cost ( obviously choosing a high end windows laptop ) as the mac book pro range are the high end of the macs, there are also ibooks and power books if we are talking laptops here ) so take them into significance as well.
