Anna,
Yes, the data is very important to me. I had family tree information that
would be hard to duplicate. Plus I had over 700 music files. And a lot of
family photos.
Now to answer your questions if I can
1. Yes, it was a gateway pc w/only 1 hard drive installed. I never added
anything else (and to the post from bill, yes it had goback on it)
And I assume the new system does not have Goback installed? Goback
writes a proprietary "type" partition identifier to the partition table. In which
case Goback needs to be installed, so that it can hook I/O to the partition
or you need to run the Goback uninstaller so that XP can access the
drive natively.
Niether is without a certain amount of risk of course. I'd prefer to clone
the entire disk beforehand.
If you do take it somewhere, make sure you tell them about Goback. If they
don't think it's relevent, then they probably don't know what they're doing.
