Hi Bernie,

You can't from another computer. That's why I recommended Acronis True
Image 10 Home software. The question arises, if the Maxtor Disc Software can
create another partition from the free space left, without destroying the
existing data on the Hard Drive.

Acronis True Image 10 Home from newegg.com and also its Disk Director
Suite 10.0-Retail

The first time you use the software, you need to use it from the CD
itself. You can't install the software onto the computer you are having
problems with. The CDs are bootable and you can run them on the computer you
are having problems with. Make sure the CD is the device that is first in
the Boot order.

When you boot from the CD, the security of Windows XP, does not come
into play.

You may need to buy also, another Hard Drive, if your current Hard Drive
is going bad. Before it goes bad, use Acronis Disk Director to copy the
partition to the other Hard Drive. Do not move it, in case something goes
wrong. COPY.

I will not buy this sw but I have the maxtor disc sw to create a partition
so
its an option, but I cannot get my user account open to copy the files. I
was
the administrator but when I put the disc in another machine I cannot see
the
files. How can I overcome this?

Hi Bernie,

Do you have more than one partition on your current Hard Drive? If
you
do, you could use Acronis True Image 10 Home Retail CD and back up your
data
files onto the other partition, then you can reformat and reinstall
Windows
XP.

Once you get the operating system back in working order, created a
full
partition image, so you don't need to reinstall Windows XP again, just
restore the Drive Image. Make any sense?

Maybe it isn't dead yet as I can see it fully on another computer.
Maybe
I
will rebuild the computer with a new drive then use this a slave and
try
to
get the files off that I want.
I had SP2 loaded should I repair using SP2?

If it will not enter safe mode, it is not repaired. Did you run a
Repair
after the successful chkdsk? If so, you probably have a damaged hard
drive.

news Hi I had a problem with the OS and repaired succesfully(?) with WIN
XP
using
the
CD Installation disc. Now my computer will not Boot up in Win XP. It
gets
to
the Windows Home page and reboots. It will not enter Safemode
either.
The
disc checks out ok and the same problem appears in another computer
using
the
same disc, and in the other computer you can see all files except
where
the
security was at the Administrator level.
Win XP says there isn't a problem with the disc so please can
somebody
tell
me why it will not boot up correctly? I have made a chkdsk c: /R it
repaired
some errors but keeps rebooting. Can I turn off Auto Reboot outside
of
windows?
