ASUS/GE 1.8M 524M 40Ghd XP Pro SP2
Worked perectly for two years. Basic eMail, Family Pictures, Tunes etc.
Switching on goes through the bios set up and now tells me its been switched
off incorreclty and asks me to either start windows normally, safe mode, last
known etc.
Selecting start normally, I see the windows logo start up screen for few
seconds then a blue screen flashes and goes back to begining switch on
screen.
Selecting Safe Mode, screen show many loaded files, pauses then straight
back to the re-boot screen.
I have selected all the options with basically same results.
I followed a link explaining how to re-install xp from the repair option on the
installation disk but due to not being able to see the c: drive the repair option
wasn't available, just mentioned it was an unformatted partition and wanted to
format it and will loose all data.
Local computer repair outlet ran winteralls 2005. He booted up from cd and
tech said the c: drive it couldn't be mounted. He was real busy and was getting
nowhere so brought computer home.
I understand that I'm going to have to re-install a fresh copy of xp but would
like to try save some data and my address book etc.
My question: Is there a program that will allow me to access the hard drive in
dos mode (ntfs) and allow me to copy off some of these file?
Many thanks for reading this.
