**I am copying this thread over to this part of the forum because I'm not sure if I originally put it under the correct section**
My windows vista laptop won't boot. It gets to the windows loading screen, hangs, flashes a BSOD for literally half a second, and then restarts itself. I'm assuming something is wrong with my registry/windows files.
I planned on hooking up the laptop HD to my desktop and then copying and pasting the files from the laptop HD onto my Desktop HD. Afterwards, I would reinstalling windows. However, when i connect my laptop's HD to my desktop, it tells me that I have to format the disk and won't let me access it.
Is there anyway that I can get into my HD without formatting it and losing the things I'm trying to backup in the first place?
