Old, what did you wind up doing to fix it?

well here are the steps

install this in the OS that the original file was put on the disk

run the program accordingly, if it is a .zip file use winrar (this is just my case)

I tried running that program in XP which was not the original OS and it crashed every time. basically the disk lost its file allocation table so the files were not organised and couldn't be accessed properly so that program would be needed

now I gotta rewrite my fuckin resume again mad: mad: mad: mad:

That sucks, but good to know about that program. We have an issue with this up in our students lab on the 7th floor.
