Hi people, I have a computer that was working very well, but lately when I was working on a important project, there was a power fluctuation for a couple of times (I thought that was normal) but after the last power fluctuation my computer refused to boot up. There seems to be a failure of some kind…..but I need to get the projects back that are still in that disk.

I would be thankful if you could suggest any good tools to get the files and documents back.

Have you tried just taking out the hard disk and putting it in another machine as a slave drive? That is the first, the quickest and - usually - the most successful method in such circumstances.

Then I'd pop out and buy a new power pack. Sounds like it's blown.

Does it turn on . .then right back off?
Or just not turn on at all?

It's probably the power supply if it doesn't turn on. Otherwise, if it turns on, but doesn't boot up, the os is probably ****ed up and needs to be re-installed. Sometimes, you can start up the computer in safe mode and run system restore.
