| 1133233 | 2010-08-31 05:16:00 | OK, permissions have been applied & I have access to the files. All the files names look like this: ~$filename.doc when I open them the text is gobbly gook |

| 1133234 | 2010-08-31 05:18:00 | Backing up the image with Acronis (i.e. True Image Home) then extracting the image, you can remove all file permissions. Makes some things easier to work with. Edit: ~$ files are temporary. There should be a plain .doc file with the same filename somewhere. If you find that it _should_ be readable. |

| 1133236 | 2010-08-31 05:23:00 | Might need to scan the drive with a recovery program, possibly the files have been 'lost' due to filesystem corruption caused by the faulty hardware etc. | Agent_24 (57) | ||
