Yeah ive had it for about 6 months now, My User Accounts doesnt show up when click apon, And my system restore doesnt iether. They files in windows i think have been deleted. Is there anyway of getting around this withoust reloading windows on again. Because i have 30GB of music and i dont really fancy losing it all. Help please, Will rep.

^^^^ Are you sure you haven't disabled System Restore?

Nope i thought i had done that, but i checked and its on.

Well, sounds like a bad case of spyware.... Happened to me once I think, had to reformat :(

Yeah i thought so. My computers clean as a brissel other than missing files to windows. And i new what i had done wrong. (i loaded a vista skin on) Fucked it good a proper. And when i went to remove it it deleted the files.

And reformat is long. Damn

Burn your music to an mp3 or such and then spend a good ammount of time reformatting then chucking the music back on.

Yeah im thinking of buying a new HD because i have all my sofware and my graphics work to consider, or i might geta 250 GB removable HD for £70 wich aint bad and will be a major help. Hmmmm

Is there a repair function or any such on the windows Xp disk, Like to reinstall certain sections of the programs that come with the disk?.

yea sounds like spyware to me...like usually when a trojan or hacker gets into ur computer they take all ur files and shit like that...did u have a spyware program running??

do you reckon it's worth getting a 300gb external hard drive for around £100 from novatech?

Yes..

clu external hard drives are very handy indeed, i got mine a while ago now for £100 was 160gb, and when ever i download anything i jus put it on there or if i need owt else i put it on the external hard drive so when i reformat i still have everything

Yeah i think im gunna invest in one. It will make everything so much easier.

yeah 270 for 100 is a good deal too jus that one that clu got is better

there's some on novatech, 320gb for £94 not including p&p though.

wow thats dope

If you got the disk, theres an option, don't no exactly what its called, but what it does is delete all your Windows files and re-install them again, whithout deleting your settings or you personal files, it gets rid of your default system 32 files and other shit in "WINDOWS" most teh default stuff, and puuts on clean new ones on, so if you have some how got one missing or one is curupt it willf ix it, i done a few times when something majour happened, and usually fixed it. But getting external hard drive is a VERY good idea, there really usefull.

is that when you insert your windows cd in and u can repair your windows installation?
