MrCommunistGen Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 I've been working on a rather important multi gigabyte video presentation and I have been saving the files to a folder on the desktop as that makes them easily accessable. Sadly, about half way through... windows decides it doesnt like to boot, and after some major troubleshooting (including a processor swap) I concluded windows was corrupted. No biggie I thought. I booted off of another hard drive running 98SE ( I only have one XP license) to retrieve my video files. I can access and copy over any of the data from the drive i want EXCEPT for things in "Documents and Settings" which includes the desktop folder. These files seem to be encrypted. The only files i really want are IN THE DESKTOP FOLDER :angry: Is there a way for me to retrieve my files? If I run the XP installer and tell it to repair will it erase my files?Thanks!-mcg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarecrow Man Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Sounds like someone already had this problem earlier today...http://forums.neoplanet.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=18400 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
