?there might be lets wait for more SUGGESTIONS from other members of the forum.

one thing you could do is slave the hhd to your other computer and try to recover the important FILES that way.ummm...I'm not sure how to do that.... I don't know a lot about computershttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=how+to+slave+a+harddrive

google helps alotWell, I looked at slaving the hard drive and I don't really know how comfortable I would be pulling apart two computers like that....ok... lets see what other members have to sayOkay, I'll wait to see if ANYONE else has any ideas....Since you have no XP CD this PROCESS is a bit trickier...

Travel Here and read everything carefully to make SURE these conditions apply in your case...if not DO NOT attempt the listed fix as you may hose your XP install and not be able to recover.

If you do decide this method applies i suggest printing it out as a guide...Quote from: ahousholder on May 14, 2007, 11:05:59 AM

no they didn't give me one. I asked about one, and I was told that they quit giving them out with the computers. It's completly RETARDED because what do they expect me to do when something like this happens?
