Dear TechStop.

I have an emergincy: I used VundoFix (which is the new version) to fix the problem.
it got over 1500 problems. I click fix it.
After that my computer restart and said my computer can't find ???.dll(I don't remember) and suggested me to re-install.

Therefore, I used my windows xp cd and recovered windows (I didn't formet the harddrive because My assignment is inside harddrive: i have to submit monday and I haven't done other computer assignment)

After recovered, my computer had other problem.
Windows XP CD was SP1 but In my harddrive, it was SP2 AND MOST UP TO DATE.

I need the best solution to retrive my School Assignment folder.
Please I am in panic.

Well, what you should do first is make use of the search function here because this is a very common question .

If you have another storage device attached to your PC, download Knoppix , burn it as an image and boot off it. Then, after it loads (takes a little bit), you'll have a GUI with your storage devices on the desktop (I believe). Access the troubled HDD and just drag/drop your data from there to the other storage device.

Another route to take, is to remove your HDD from the PC you're using and attach it as a Secondary/Slave device in another PC. Then, you can browse the troubled HDD's data within the comforts of the Windows GUI and you can just drag/drop your data onto the other PC's HDD.

After you've backed your data up (which sounds more involved than it really is), just delete your Windows partition and reinstall completely.
