Looping at post?

Err, just a quick question, how are you going to test her HD if she only brings the HD?? You will need to be careful when installing the HD or XP etc, due to windows activation requirements. (sorry just thought of it now) Also, varying MB chipsets will affect if the computer starts or not too... sorry I think this will get a little harder before being dead easy.

Um... I guess you could install her HD as a second in your comp, then first scan for virus etc. Also, try to backup as much as possible of her data on to your comp or burner etc. Especially her PHOTOs Then once she is happy everything is safe, shutdown, remove your HD and install her's as the master (rev, do we still use this term?) and try to boot.

If fail, try to boot from XP cd, if fail then you will need to do full reformat and clean. You can either put your HD back in as master and her's as slave, then reformat her drive within windows, easy

This will blank her Drive, so when she returns to Paris, she can do a clean XP install

Let us know how it goes, all the best. Also, we have a few female members at TZ, the more the merrier

Hi
Thank you, I am going to try all of these things you have all told me to do and hopefully I will get the photo's, that is mainly what she is bothered about really, she does have some music files too so we will have to wait and see what we can save. I hope this will teach her not to delete files willy nilly!!! I will let you all know what happens as soon as I can, she will be here in about 1-2 weeks hopefully and thanks you lot again, you are all treasures!!!
