whatsup people.. I have an external maxtor harddrive that is about to die. It's giving me CRC errors and some read errors when i run chkdsk from within windows. I REALLY need to get the information off this drive. It's currently a FAT volume -- what options do i have ? Is there a program that i need to download and crack to try and run a recovery ? anything! Thx

I just tried it in safe mode and it worked beautifully. Thanks people.

Thanks..I did patch it with another version, but i upgraded to SP2 and couldn't find a patch that could break my version of winlogon. So i downgraded back to SP1 -- same sh*T can i run this in safe mode ?

I'm at the dreaded point where you either activate windows or it logs you out. Does anyone have a "remedy" to this problem ? I really don't want to reinstall windows on top or alongside this existing installation and is there a workaround that doesn't consist of trying multiple keys ? Windows XP SP1 downgraded from SP2
