I love having 2 partitions
[SIZE=1]AMD 4200 X2 @ 2.65Ghz, ASRock 939-VSTA
1.75GB PC3200, 2 X 160GB Seagate w/ 8MB Buffer
HIS Radeon X800 Pro, Antec Super Lanboy Aluminum
looks like i lied!
the entire c drive corrupted
which means that my windows OS is still functional. (on an e:\ 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?

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