So, about 2 months ago my computer sort of crashed. I never got it fixed, never took the harddrive out (because I don’t know how), blah blah. I have tons of pictures and music files on said computer that I really really want to save. But today I found a “System Restoration” CD - if I put that in, do I lose all the files that were on my harddrive? What does this CD do? ---

what exactly was wrong with it? does it just not boot at all? or did the hd shit the bed? etc. If it isnt a bad HD I could fix it. I’ve been doing tech shit and repairs and builds for the past like 6 years… …but then again I’m also new to the forum and don’t know you, so I’m sure you know plenty of the IT guys on the site as well ---

If windows just no longer works than it should be simple and several people including myself could fix it. If the drive doesn’t work Locutus will dig up all your n00ds + the ones you thought you deleted. ---
