  1. disappointed? i love linux!!! i was just wondering which one comes the closest. so i can recommend the right distro of linux to newbies that ask me. i like ubuntu....i like slackware as well...
  2. which Linux distro is most like windows?does anyone know of any that will run windows (.exe) files natively? (without WINE)(i heard there were a couple...i mite be wrong)
  3. i dont know if you still have this problem or not...but i had this problem recently so what i did was...i used partition recovery software to do a RAW read on the disk and i restored my EFS (encrypted file system) files to a different location and it worked for me...
  4. or you can download a Hard drive "RAW" reader...it just looks for files that are on the Hard drive...and should be able to copy that to an external harddrive.... or try using a undeleter/unformatter software....find one that scans the hard drive using sectors and it should find the files and give you the option to restore them to a different location...i hope that helps(and there are several freeware software solutions out there...you just have to look...and in the right places!)
  5. or if that is too hard...plug in your backup source (external Hard Drive) then load NTFS for DOS from the disk...and then copy using DOS....either way...it should do what ur look'n forlet me know if this works...or if u have any other questions
  6. wait! don't reinstall! i know a way in...strictly for emergency use...not continuous use!! go to a diff computer and make a bootable floppy by right-clicking on the 3 1/2 floppy drive and clicking format then select the bootable dos disk...or something of that nature. (i dont have a floppy drive) then go online and download "NTFS for DOS" and put it on the floppy. then boot into the floppy. it should ask you which NTFS partition you want to load. Select the right one...then it should take you to a command prompt. type in cd\ then cd windows then cd system32 then copy logon.scr logon.bak then copy cmd.exe logon.scr (cmd=command prompt) then reboot your computer and if you have your screensaver enabled...instead of the the screensaver loading it will load cmd.exe Example: if you have your screensaver set to 5 min....then in 5 min it will run cmd.exe instead of the screensaver.... then at the command prompt type in explorer that should load windows without having you register or login good luck Disclaimer: I do not applaud piracy, but I do feel people should have access to their personal files, regardless of whether Windows has expired or not. This tutorial should not be used to bypass Windows Activation, nor does it restore full Windows functionality, but I provide it to those who are in desperate need of accessing files that are suddenly lost to them through the Microsoft Genuine Advantage activation system.
