Hi
I'm trying to transfer some pictures from a corrupted xp pro hd onto an xp home drive. I have the old hd set as master and the corrupted one as slave.
The pc is not seeing the corrupted drive. Have tried all different jumper settings, reset Bios and still the corrupted drive does not show.This is now obviously a non-bootable hd as it stands.I know that xp home won't start xp pro and vice versa
I don't know if this may be the reason tho. My pc crashed the other night and then just locked out completely. I turned it off and restarted and got the message about C:\Windows\System\Config\System was either corrupted or missing. Have tried various suggestions like copying files from another pc so that I could make a floppy and get in that way. Nothing.Tried recovery disk, nothing. Couldn't get into safe mode. Couldn't control/alt/ delete to restart.
Can't think of anything else I could do except ask someone else rather than myself!
All suggestions will be gratefully accepted
