Not that I have tried this and mudski would probable be able to tell you if it will work or not

Can you link your lappy up to the pc and map the the pc drive and check for errors

Just a carlton dry thought for the night

x2.... i got two backups but thats only because my life is obviosly more important than andys.

So I'm guessing yours is fixed now?

Thanks for that mate!

I can't check disk in either option as it fails on boot to check and in cmd it says the volume is in use.

grab a copy of Hiren's BootCd from here http://www.hirensbootcd.org/download/ , extract it , burn to a CD and boot off that disk. it has dozens of tools to diagnose/fix computer issues. Full list here http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd . And its free and legit.

TBH I have never tried when the lappy is only in safe mode. I would remove the lappy hard drive and connect it direct to a desk top and repair it that way.
Ronin's way would work too. Can use Ultimate Boot CD too. Geez its been a while since I've used those...But since Andy more than likely won't have either, getting hold of an XP cd would be just as easy I reckon. Two more sleeps until BF4 is released..wOOt!

That's 1 hell of a loaded disk, will getting a copy of that for sure

Are there any excel nerds on here who know how to crack into a password protected file?

This is a legit operation, nothing dodgy I promise...lol

[Hodge]

Hey AB got a Google account ? Try uploading it to googe docs or Google drive as its now called I think and it'll convert a excel file into the google docs spreadsheet type. It just may by pass password that way.
