----Do you know if I can install Acronis on another computer to build the rescue disk, again?--- boot disk. yes
If I pull the drive and put it in a new machine, not as a main drive, would I be able to pull files off of it? It is the main drive in the Dell, ie the Windows XP drive. I have another internal drive that I backed up pictures on which I will pull. If I can just pull the main HD and stilll access the other files I'll do it now. I didn't think I could access the files though without access to Windows first. The only other files I might really need would be the damn Outlook Express ones. They are backed up, but at this point I can't access them through Acronis.
if you absolutely sure that you don't have any virus on this old Pc-then yes,you can install it as second hard drive(assuming that on new PC windows is already installed) doesn't matter,if you have windows on both drives. PC is set to boot up from HD you bought it with. you can find info on internet about how to get your files from outlook
You bring up my main worry as to whether this failure is a failure, or one of my sons who was on the computer last and shut it down last night. When I see boot issue I worry he got into something. Other than yelling at him, it is to late now.
Yea, yea it was my son, I wasn't doing that stuff, yea the kid did it. Actually I was in getting after him regularly about wasting time on YouTube, and am pretty sure he isn't the problem.
hey...redtube and porntube are fairly safe even playboy agree i visit them from time to time(but i do that on separate PC,sitting on separate network with my antivirus on full alert)
bought galaxy tab 2 and when i try to get there-it won't let me. also-no flash support on it(have to use some workaround) and on top of that-when you use google search-it won't display those porn sites damn! total control country!
