I'm in trouble

<< < (3/3)

protokatie:
I know this is a little "after the fact", but for your future safety net, I suggest getting an external 1TB HD (120 or so bucks at buy.com) and backup regularly. I just had to send in my laptop (still under warranty, luckily) and they say they may have to reformat the drive. Luckily I have 2 1TB drives that I just copy all the stuff I want to keep as a backup. (To make it easier on myself, I have those drives networked, with one as a shared volume and the other as an unshared backup that runs a backup batch file once a day).

If you can find an unformat program, it will get all your files back, albeit in the root directory.

RayB:
I wonder if running CHKDSK would rebuild his MBR and fix it?
