I was wondering if it were possible to get files off an infected drive. Start the computer off a new drive, and then just copy over the files that you need from the other sick drive.
I recently made a huge stupid mistake by looking for a key for Microsoft Flight Sim and it blew up in my face. It managed to delete a XP file and now I can't boot. I have the set-up CD but my keyboard is not putting in any input, just comes up with a screen saying the file it is missing and that if you press 'r' it will repair. Needless to say I have learned my lesson...
I was debating whether or not to get a new hard drive and do this, or see if Geek Squad can work some magic.
Would this be safe? Or would it just infect the other drive? Geek Squad has the service for $200 and I was figuring the 2nd HDD would be a cheaper way.
Thaanks for the input!
