your "beef" is not with the CPU simply buy the serial key code for getdataback and all will be well it will restore your drive and data for use


no external drive purchase necessary



the section about Partition magic is a method to use "if"
you wanted to set up a drive again and now that it cant happen again, or use the hard drive makers drive set-up utilities to partition and format the drive.


for your dillema: simply use the getdataback and live happily ever after

just bear in mind; every time you use that restore CD that will happen so you might want to put a copy of getdataback on a CD disk for such use after your clean installs or recoverys
