If the computer that died was in a "suspended" state as a result of "hybrid sleep" then the data will be locked away.When you turn off your computer using hibernate, the operating system needs to store all your current running program states onto hard disk so that programs can resume where they left off when you power up your PC again. To achieve this, the OS need to save all the information into a file called hiberfil.sys. Windows OS (7, vista, XP) usually stores this as a hidden file under your C directory or your main OS partition.The dir command alone won't show hiberfil.sys. You use type "dir /ah" dir /ahref: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/263317-32-files-external-they-hiddenIf you don't know the folder name or you want to catch everything, the following method takes some time. If the old hard drive letter is F then at the command prompt type the following: cd f: attrib -s -h /s /dAfter the command completes you may see the files. If you see a folder with no name, open it and your files are within.* [[Disable Hybrid Sleep Mode in Windows]]
