And backups.

I love having 2 partitions :D

looks like i lied&#33;

the entire c drive corrupted :lol:


which means that my windows OS is still functional. (on an e:&#092; drive)
im working on recovering it now...

You dont have another hard drive you can boot using, and then just set up the 160GB drive as a slave and just view the files? and maybe burn them to CD?

ANd its a bit hard for me to understand, but I take it you had to reinstall windows because of a supposed corrupted drive? If so, why didnt you leave the current file system intact, instead of reformatting, so all your data, non windows related would still be there? :blink:

fixed it

lennon i figured that out b4 u posted it. i hooked it up to another comp, and when winXPhome on my friends comp booted, it automatically repaired the hdd


then i moved it back. lesson learned: install service pack 1&#33;


now, vb i hope this isnt against the rules, but could some1 pm me a sig2dat link to an activation-hacked full sp1 install?
