Originally posted by Parallax When it comes to backing things up, I am a firm believer in redundant redundancy. No files should exist on fewer than three drives, one of the three geographically separated from the working and primary backup drives.
This is great advise but too late, I do the same however
Originally posted by elmo wartz the only problem there is i can't even log on even with all the options from the start menu', won't read the install disc or a flash drive with the recovery console on it. thanx
Get a new drive or computer and a USB case for the crashed drive, chances are you have damaged the boot sector and perhaps the operating system files but. Not the data section. Depends on how the disk was set up of course, but OS and program files a usually the most vulnerable.
