heyy my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop crashed; it says to insert a Windows CD & click on Repair but a friend told me that i will lose all my files! What can I do to keep my files? Most of my files (images, music, videos) are found on Disk E as all the Registry & drivers' files are on Local Disk C; If I remove Disk E from the laptop, would it work on a computer so that I can get my files back??
