Re: Hard-drive help.

We had an external hard drive that failed, we managed to recover image files using this program.............

You don't have to buy the software to recover images, but you do if you want to recover documents etc..........

hope this helps....... :D

Having had my Sony Experia M4 aqua now for 6 months, and loaded up two new games, I noticed that my phone is getting warm/hot rather quickly.
