hello all,
after turning on my PC I immediately got a error that would not let me go any further, something about a faulty keyboard which of course was not the problem. could not do a thing so did the system restore from the recovery console the was already installed on the emachines T3990 computer XP service pack 3 .
I guess it reloaded windows XP to another partition called recovery disc(D;) . when I go to "my computer" I can see the local disc (C;) area with usage of 74 GB of the original 80GB so I'm assuming that all my music and jpeg pictures and PDFs are still there but I cannot see them. also all my progarms like printers, photo software, etc are there but I can't access them in a way to open them up. Mainly i want my music and photos. What do I need to do? and how do I get back on the original 'c' disc area to use the computer with everything I had installed like I used to.
I'm wondering if the last windows update I let install was bogus as they are not supporting XP any longer.
thanks for your help.
