| 798350 | 2009-08-05 07:43:00 | Hi, I have a friend who has his hdd partitioned on one he is running XP Home and other XP Pro. the XP home one had a huge amount of errors, so we ran an XP Pro cd and continued to do the upgrade so he wouldn't lose data off that partition. After a while it reset and everytime it starts in that version of windows it say "Windows Setup is restarting" We try and access the files on the partition that is having the problem, but it wont let us. We just want to back them up. How can we fix this? |
