Do you know anyone with an external drive case?
If so put it in there, copy your data to the host computer and then copy it back onto the new drive you are going to put in your computer
It's worked for me before (and it's what PCWorld will probably do for £100s). Hope it works

Anyway
Happy Santa time to you and yours (and anyone else reading this)

IT'S XMAS EVE ..................................I can hear Santa

Now that sounds like a plan Kev - might be worth investing in one if I cant borrow one can't do much for a week or two anyway, but will bear that suggestion in mind

Try booting in Safe mode 'F5' on boot up. You may have had a software update that has corrupted on install, or you may have installed new software that is corrupted, or worse got a virus. If computer boots in safe mode, go to start, run, type msconfig hit return, on startup tab start to disable items one at a time to see if you can find the culprit, also download malewarebytes from Internet and run a scan.

Hope this helps

Cheers Ricky, have tried to get it to start in safe mode, but it just gets so far along the boot sequence, then starts again!

 

[Whittler Kev]

You could try using startup on a stick (not that kind! ) rickyamos 's idea sounds well pukka

Ok, do you have the windows xp cd? If so you could try the recovery console

Ok you can always get a download from another pc and get a live windows boot disc, forget the proper name but it loads a small windows version in memory so you can try and repair the install on the hard drive. Fixboot, fixmbr, chkdsk etc. Also try getting into bios and setting bios to defaults. Good luck

Thanks again for those suggestions chaps, been a bit busy with work and family time since my last post, will try all suggestions hoping that at least one of them will work enough for me to grab documents, photos and music at least, as soon as I get a spare hour or two to myself

 

[rickyamos]

If you don't get it sorted, then post me the hard drive and I will get your docs and photos off the drive

Hello guys

Well after a crazy 2011 I hope to have an easier year and get out to do some bushy stuff and meet y'all

Look forward to any meets/workshops this year? Has anyone worked any permissions other than the Scout camp?

Has anyone ventured into any of the local interesting Cambridgeshire woods lately for an overnight? When I walk my dog late on in MW or BW there is usually noone about and so I am tempted by a little late night hammocking with no trace in the morning? Naughty I know but only if you get caught

Thoughts?

Hi guys, much like the last post 2011 was a proper crazy year for me too with work and stuff!! So my 2012 new years resolution was to get more me time and get out doing the things I enjoy!!
Any idea when the first Cambridge meet will be?

Cheers
Steve

Boingy boingy. Any idea for a meet date?
First Sun in March is British Blades day at Cambridge and Norwich is looking at April dates at the mo

Hello everyone; new to the site, not new to Bushcraft. I live in beautiful Braintree, and I'd love to meet up with other bushers for some fun. If you don't mind, I'll join in if I can.

 

[Whittler Kev]

I've been doing the Basic Bushcraft certification on BushcraftUSA (wish they would implement it here to get others like me out of their armchairs) and, whoo hoo , I've just got the info that I've finished the basic certification and just need to do the 5 outings
I'm as happy as a happy thing
