Hi!
I had a big problem with my PC and now when I boot it, it says I/O error. So I decided to re-install Windows. I tried the repair option, but I get a message that states that my previous Windows installation has recovered from a serious problem and cannot be repaired. I absolutely have to format my HD before I can install Windows again.
Now, my problem is I don't want to loose some important data files I got on my PC. I tried to go in MS-DOS mode and make a "dir" of my files to copy them on a floppy disk, but the dir command won't even work. I don't know how to access my files. Is there another way to access the files there is on my HD so I can copy the important ones on a floppy not to loose them?
ty for your help
