Yeah I can't get it to work either. Iono, it looks like im still going to be doing a reformat.

You know of anyway I can maybe back up some files before I do? How do you load up drivers in linux, cause I think if I do that, I can access my HD in linux.

Or if anyone else knows of a better way.

Use a old HDD ? and put os on that maybe ?.

When i reinstalled Vista last time without format and removing windows it put the My Documents in another folder called Windows.old. If i remember right it all so put Program files folder there too. But that was replacing a XP install as i was booting 2 partition with x64 on each of them.
