QUOTE(jd ddd40 @ May 26 2009, 07:30 AM) Well tried doing the repair without the disk typing in repair and all that. But not working so no computer and no new pics. :,-( Unfortunately in Vista you can't try what would be called a "2nd repair" like you can in XP. The best way to save all of your data/information would be to do like pay was telling you. Connect your harddrive to a secondary machine and boot into windows. It would show your HD as another drive letter and normally you can access it and browse your files. You could then copy them all to another harddrive on that computer. For instance, create a new folder and transfer everything to it. Its time consuming sometimes, but effective. Then place the harddrive back inside the computer and reinstall Vista. Once Vista is correctly installed, take your harddrive back out and connect it to the secondary machine. Copy all of your data back to the original harddrive on a folder under the correct user name so you can find it later. Once again, take your harddrive out once it is finished transferring everything and connect it to the original machine. Boot back into Vista, look under the folder you transferred it to and voila! I know all this technical stuff might be a bit over your head but that's the only way to save your data if repairing or chkdsk doesn't work : )
