Hello,

Since your computer is not able to get to the desktop, that is not an
option.

However, you could replace the external enclosure's HD with the HD you want
to backup from and connect it to another computer to retrieve the files.

Hello everyone!
My wife's computer got a severe voltage spike and fire the
motherboard,(478pin)Compaq Pesario S5100nx using Windows XP so I
bought a new ECS nForce3-A motherboard & AMD 3000+ CPU Plus fan and no
way to backup what is on the harddrive.
The computer will let me into the BIOs settup and everthing is still
on the HD but It won't open Windows.
It won't open in safe Mode or in Last known good configuration,it will
take me to a command prompt (Black Screen) but I don't know where to
go from there?
I need to save Docs &spread*** from HD so I can't do a clean
install. Can I do(& how) a reinstall and save the documents on my HD?

Any help would be Greatly Appreciated!
