| 225649 | 2005-08-31 23:10:00 | Yep, you'll have to go the whole hog You're used to command line seeing your a linux guru so shouldn't take long I had this all written down to easily understand and can't find it now so you'll have to read thru MS Blurb and take out the bits you want You won't have to do the "system" file Just the "sam" and "security" Don't do the "software" unless it's a last resort as this will stuff up all your apps I never bother making a tmp dir either I just get in and do it as I posted above The only changes I make are to the file names Full blurb here: support.microsoft.com hth |

| 225651 | 2005-09-03 09:14:00 | Had no luck with that... Kept asking me for the Administrator password, and I had no idea what it was Got the data off that I needed, and formatted Cheers Chill. |

| 225652 | 2005-09-03 11:23:00 | I tried that and it didn't work - and the only way I can access my drive is using Knoppix. Kind of cute really that I need a Linux CD to access my windows installation, but haven't been able to transfer the files to a flash drive. Reinstalling looks like the only way forward. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
| 225653 | 2005-09-03 11:28:00 | As long as the Thumbdrive isnt formatted with NTFS you should be perfectly fine :) Just click on the desktop Icon for the Windows drive To mount the thumbdrive RW you'll need to: mkdir /mnt/thumbdrive mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/thumbdrive That should do the trick :) Cheers Chill. |

| 225654 | 2005-09-03 12:09:00 | I stumbled across how to transfer the files and now I'm happily filling up the drive with the stuff I didn't want to lose. Fortunately 98% of the drive was backed up anyway but of course Windows always crashes at the most inconvenient of times. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
