I have decided to start this thread for discussing technical issues that come up rather than messing up the other threads.
I guess the first issue seems to be pasting Word text into posting boxes.
Recently we have had three threads lockup up as a result of posts involving Word text.
Tiger Signature
Mary, Can you do a systems restore and therefore choose a date when your computer was working ok.
Another question? Do you have an XP disk?
Agree with Tiger re caddying the hard drive. Just depends how easily you can access it.
Can you not even get into the advanced boot options when you reboot the computer? Is it not responding at all to the F8 key?
Might also help to leave it a few hours, unplugged from the mains, before trying again.

Unknown said:The thing is if the drive is corrupt Tiger, how could we get anything off it. The most important files are backed up, with the exception of my email files, and I would hate to lose the information in them, I wish I had copied them but didn't know how to do that.
The whole drive will not be corrupt, most likely some part of it.
Nowadays I have an automatic backup to the cloud.
Mary. Even if the hard drive was crashed....which it isn't...the data can be got back but it is a bit more expensive.
