the pc was running xp pro, its having hard drive issues and as a result the xp pro cd lives in the drive as i have to keep using recovery console to chkdsk every few days to bring it back to life.
now the old man somehow managed to start an upgrade running as the cd kicked in after the drive had yet another fart, once he saw the screen say deleting he crapped himself and pulled the plug, then tried to tell me what he did..
i start the pc and windows resumes the upgrade, deleted the files, layes down the new ones then reboots.
im then presented with a black screen with movable mouse after its finished with the xp loading bar, this sat there at least 5 hours last night so not a great deal is going off, zero activity fromt he cd or hard drive.
anyone got any ideas on how to bring this back to life as i need to get the emails, documents etc off there.
last resort will be popping the drive in my rig and googling how to recover emails![]()
