I have 2 Windows XP problems that I could really use some help on, and I
would very much appreciate some good advice!
I recently re-installed Windows XP Pro on my Sony Vaio Desktop using the
system discs I created myself. Knowing that I would wipe out the "C" and "D"
drive, I installed an additional internal backup drive designated as an "E"
drive, My "C" drive was partitioned as a " C" and "D" drive. Naturally I
backed up all my data and programs etc on my "E" drive and when I did the
re-install I was warned I'd lose the data on my "MAIN" "C & D"drives which I
anticipated. As it turned out my "E" drive was also completely wiped clean
to the bone also!
Question 1: I wondered if there is anyway to get that drive back with the
data, and if so how?
2: I am using the system discs I created on my Sony Vaio Desktop a while
back. I recall doing an re-install of Windows XP last year that gave me the
option of just restoring Windows and not losing any data or formatting
anything. It was simple and it worked fine every time. For the life of me I
can no longer find that option. I'm wondering if it is because I'm using the
system discs or is there something I am missing or ot doing properly to find
the option I need?
As I said I need help on this ASAP and I thank you in advance for taking the
time and trouble to straighten me out It means a great deal to me!
