fuck.. id be overjoyed if anyone can fathom this... i finished up doing my work on my pc last night, working in a folder on my desktop. shut down, everything was cool. get up this morning, turn the pc on and i heard it turn on again like 5 seconds later and thought nothing of it (i think maybe the cable came out at the back meaning it cut out and turned on again straight away?) anyway, now, my comp takes about 10mins to boot up, theres like 3 icons on my desktop (instead of about 20) so ive lost my work, which is v.important... im just baffled...???? |

Strange and baffling. You'll probably be better off seeking out some forums which are full of saddos who thrive on questions like this. |

I had a similar problem. It occured that the information about my account in the registry got corrupted. Are you logged to your account? Never keep important things on your desktop, man. Keep it as far away from the system as possible. Try if you can find the content of your desktop in \documents and settings\your account name\desktop\ |

I agree with QRDL here, you shouldn't really keep anything on your rootdrive as it's bound to get fucked up here and then, and then you'll keep losing everything you got :\ |

extract hard-drive bring to a new computer access it through some other windows that isn't trying to "protect your stuff." |

Damn that system. I'll never touch Linux if I don't have to, but such things can piss you off. I have no solution for you. If such a thing happens, it usually means, that there's is something wrong with the HDD or you suffered from over-voltage. In my case it was an exessive dust buildup on the RAM slots. I always reformat and reinstall, it's quicker than scratching your head searching for a more intelligent way to get your system up and running. But in my case it never implies saying good bye to any of my stuff, I keep it on a different disk. I understand that this advise is of no use to you now and I sympathize. |

Yeah, listen to Drunken Mastah, that's the most reasonable thing you can do now. Or find a friend with glasses and tell him that you need his linux to retrieve data, that gates stole from you. I'm sure he'll be more than happy to help. There may be some problems with NTFS however. |

|
|

|
|
yes... my version of XP doesnt come with the WARNING: DON'T USE THE DESKTOP disclaimer and why the fuck shouldnt i? |

I'm guessing at a hard drive failure type error here. You might have had an electricity spike which resulted in it slightly screwing your hard drive and corrupting files. You can get the data off with the help of lots of money being paid to companies who specialise in it but you'll have to decide if this work is worth the cost. As for the desktop: Storing files on the desktop slows down the computer on startup. that's about it really. |

any idea who? pc world? its worth it. |

I just remember reading an article on it. I wouldn't trust PC World with anything computer wise. They get hard ons for formatting drives which you've expressly said "DO NOT FORMAT THIS DRIVE". Then they'll format it. Luckily not happened to me. Anyway, is the best I can offer you. In the article which was from PC Format they said that it was charged by the GB. I don't know for sure that this is a hard drive problem though so it's best you wait until you know for sure before spending a shitload of money, |

I can't help you with a solution and I won't tell you what you need to do to prevent this because we all know it's too late to lock the stable door after the horse has bolted. I just hope you'll recover your work. |
