If only the OS is corrupt, you might first try to install the drive as a slave drive in a computer with the same OS, and see if the system can read your archives. If so, it is then just a matter of copying them over to the working drive, or better still, burn them on to a CD. It is also remotely possible that a checkdisk /r will recover all the data on the drive. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
