im visiting my mother and soon as i walk through the door she told me her computer problems lol.
the story goes, she updated windows xp and when she restarted her computer it would boot up to the windows is loading screen then shut down and reboot, and repeat this over and over so she tried reinstalling windows over it thinking it would overwrite it. well it just installed windows xp again as another partition on the same harddrive. but i was able to get into the older partition of xp in safe mode without it rebooting and all the things she saved/downloaded r still there. is there anyway i can transfer the data from the older xp partition to the newer? in either one i boot up it says that its on the C drive, so i cant really just go through the files and find the other xp partition. i thought of transfering it to another harddrive then transfer it back but i dont have anything i can use with me =/
anybody have any ideas? maybe i could even downgrade the update she installed somehow?
