hi. im having issues with my PC and i need help. the original hard drive was partitioned into 2 parts. the C and the D. the C drive had the OS (windows vista home premium 32 bit) and the D had some files, all of which are fine.
the C drive had some files which cannot be replaced and are of a highly personal nature (to me, my family etc) so i ordered a back-up drive to try to keep them safe. however, the OS began to have issues and failed to boot so i added a stand alone C drive (moving the one with issues down to D, and the part without issues down to E) and had windows 7 professional 64 bit installed. all is operating fine.
HOWEVER i have the issue still with what is now the D drive. i downloaded an add on for the registry to allow me to 'take control' of the D drive, however no matter what i do, i get the 'access denied' message on that drive. can anyone help me get the files out that i need so that i can format or scrub the partition and start it from fresh? i was looking at a data recovery place but it would take me around 2 months worth of salary to be able to afford it.
sorry its such a long post, but im at my wits end.
