Can anyone help?My system is a 1.2 Athlon, MSI K7T turbo2 mobo, GF3, 120 gb WD hd, 30gb IBM, dvd, cdrw, etc., etc. latest drivers, etc., running xp pro.
after my system crashed, i could not use any input device. after rebooting, same problem: no mouse or keyboard. i tried safe mode, last good boot, etc., no luck. i even unplugged both mouse and keyboard from the usb ports and tried installing ps 2 mouse/kb, no luck. Same problem. Even a serial mouse would not work.
SO, i tried to reinstall windows xp pro on the same partition (C:\ on my WD120) , saving my old settings--or so i thought, but when it rebooted, guess what? neither my mouse nor my keyboard would work. i was frozen solid again.
SO, i installed xp pro on my D drive, the IBM, which i set as the master and my old WD became the slave.
Eureka, i finally had my mouse and keyboard back again. I thought I would be able to access my old files from the orignal "Documents and Settings" folder on the WD drive, but I am getting an "Access denied" message.
I thought I might be able to use the import settings tool from new new install to get the files and settings I want, and i can infact, see my original folders (but not the files) but it wont let me import them.
Can anyone help? PLEASE!!!!
