scanreg, scandisk - neither of them work. I will try that delindex.bat, but I think
my harddrive is almost dead. Today I have gone to a friends house, plugged in my
c drive into his computer, and I'm slowly rescuing all my files. The hard drive is
so fragile, prone to disappearing and having to restart, that it can't handle burning
straight off onto CD, so I have to copy file-by-file onto his drive, then burn off
onto CD from there.
One question - I need to get my outlook express emails and address book, but where
are they held?
