Re: Still could use some help! Unsure of how to proceed

I'm still hoping to complete the recovery of my disk .... I'm determined to see this through to the end! I can't find anything anywhere on what a 'write error' might mean and how to fix it ... is there some way to change permissions on those files, if that's the issue, or can I just copy all the ...

Re: Still could use some help! Unsure of how to proceed

Thank you, Fiona, for the reply. I should have mentioned that I already disabled MSE. There are no Norton products on this computer and no other antivirus running. My firewall is still active, that's it. I'm a little perplexed as to the 'write error' if it's a permissions issue. I'm currently ...

RE: Still could use some help! Getting a 'write error'

Hi, Fiona....

I'm still hoping to find a solution, I'm only able to work on this in the mornings PDT. I'm still getting a 'write error' and cannot proceed. I'm logged in as administrator, so that can't be the problem. Please, can you help me complete my partition recovery or advise as to what else ...

Re: Still could use some help! Unsure of how to proceed

Thanks, Fiona, and sorry that I was unavailable for the past couple of days.

I went ahead and tried to 'write' after doing a quick search. (The information that displayed before doing so did match the display you included in your post.) TD didn't seem to work, instead I received the response of ...

Re: Still could use some help! Unsure of how to proceed

I've attached a screen shot from the Deep Search Analyze that, I think, shows all the files on that partition. Hopefully, this is what you're looking for...

By the way, I don't need to save any files other than those that will start and run XP Pro again.. I had already backed up and saved every ...

Re: Still could use some help! Unsure of how to proceed

Thank you! I figured you were very busy, and so I wanted to be sure someone knew I was still actively needing assistance. I will run TestDrive again right now and post the Analyse info and a screen shot of my found partition.

STILL could use some help! Unsure of how to proceed

I'm really hoping to get a reply to my post! Anyone?

I've done a lot of reading and researching on my own, but I'm still not comfortable going on to the next step, whatever it may be. I'm wondering if I should be using TestDisk or maybe I should be using PhotoRec (or both?) All I need is a little ...

Still could use some help! Unsure of how to proceed

Hello! I just found TestDisk after much searching for a solution to my problem. I have an older system that I do not want to update to Windows 7, at least not at this time. It was originally Win 98, then an upgrade to XP Pro was added, not a new complete install of XP. I was reinstalling recently ...
