I just finished setting up 7.2 with all my programs installed, configured & working fine with recovered files all working fine and just as I boot up to start backing up everything... WHAM... the boot-up kind-of hobbles and boots up. I am called away from the computer and when I return - goodie, goodie, there is a dump of some 177 mbs and the poor computer is trying to r eboot... but that's it. And the I scan the guilty drive and it's the very first, boot, sector that is Baaaaaad. And the regenerator program doesn't go any further. :-( Other than booting up with livefs and trying to copy everything to another disk, is there something else that I should do? I think it should work if I connect the drive to USB ... But before, I thought I should listen to some sage advice... :-) Anyone? TIA PJ
