Go up one level in this thread


If you definitely think you lost your data go to http://www.grc.com and look for
SpinRite. It seems by experiences from users that it is a small yet magic (and
bit expensive) recovery tool for your HD.

Another idea is to put back an old registry copy, to see if it's a corrupt
registry doing the trick.

Start in DOS (whack F8 before starting Windows) and use scanreg /fix first, if
that doesn't help start again and use scanreg /restore and restore an earlier
registry. Maybe that helps.

DON'T use it from a DOS box under windows. Start Windows OS without the GUI.

And buy a CD RW and backup an archived one. A big DB may cost a lot of time. But
you only realize how usefull that time should have been when it's to late.

Been there, done that. Blah. :(

Good luck

Jeroen ;-}
