the program i used, didn't work to open the file only to find it. microsoft do an xp thumbnail reader for .db files, which would be useful but i can't seem to find out anything much else about it.

thanks for all the help!!

You could rename the file with the extension it was originally or use notepad or wordpard or even explorer to try and read it. www.filext.com has a list of file extensions and the programs used to open them. Let us know how you do.

If for instance it was an XP OS file then you can put your XP disk in your CD drive and then when the autoplay window opens simply close it and then click start\run and type in sfc /scannow be sure to put the space after sfc and before the / . This will do a System File Check and replace any missing or corrupt OS files with the originals found on the CD. If on the other hand this was a personal file or folder chances are not even a third party program could recover it. You could always try but that's why programs like your NT Backup were created. Good luck {:~)
