Hello everyone! I will try to make this short. My laptop malfunctioned, I
thought I had lost all data, then a friend installed another version of
Windows (believe on another sector - ?) so we could at least see the hard
drive. After all that, I spoke with someone that knew what they were doing,
and they helped me with getting my data back. Have no clue how, but believe
it was changing permissions or something like that. I am now in the process
of backing up all my data so we can wipe out this system and start over (the
system is a mess!). Here is my problem, I have tried everything possible and
still cannot backup/copy/export my .PST file. When I tried to copy it to the
d drive (the CD), I got the error message of "Access denied to the d drive".
I then installed this new iomega REV drive that I just got, tried to copy it
to that, and the error message I get is "cyclic redundancy check" and it
stops copying about 10 seconds into it. I have also tried to copy it over to
the desktop (read somewhere to try that) and then copy it to the d drive -
that failed as well. I have checked the permissions and everything else I
found on the internet, but cannot get this file copied. I desperately need
the data as it has all of my business stuff on it. I'm sorry about the vague
information, but I am not real technical. Also, I can use the .PST file in
Outlook (through the new Windows that was installed), so I am guessing the
file itself is o.k. My old calendar and everything is there - I just cannot
get it copied so I can wipe out this hard drive and start fresh! I am using
the new Windows that was installed, as the old version is still messed up (it
stays in a constant reboot mode, never gets to the main screen). I would be
so unbelievably thankful if anyone could help me out on this. I have not
slept in days and do not know what else to do. Thank you so much. Chris.
