I am using win xp and recently the whole system was not working properly as it was showing some problem with system 32 in windows so I thought I will re-install xp again. On trying to re-install with XP CD the whole XP system started showing error & I have all my files on the hard disk which I am not able to access. Could someone please guide me how to recover my files to trasfer on a second hard disk and format the first hard disk.Thank you.
