| 405048 | 2005-11-17 08:34:00 | Every time? Perhaps you can elaborate more on when did you start receiving those Windows error messages? Did it start to appear after installation of some programs etc.? Not sure if this may help, but have you try performing scan disc? Good luck (y) Cheers :) |

| 405050 | 2005-11-17 09:31:00 | The link tweak'e will get you up and running again I've done it several times. I've also copied the file over from a parallel XP installation, I had to reinstall some programs but at least I got access to the data I needed. An option if all else fails |
