After 4 days of playing doctor with my dying HDD, I was able to recover most files. More importantly, the installers that I have kept in that HDD... the very important MS Office installer! OMG... I swear, I am going to make copies of this installer somewhere. Lesson learned, always keep backups of your HDD somewhere... it doesnt matter where it is but just make a backup. Also, does anybody know how I can get past through windows security for Vista? I have files on my dying HDD desktop but couldn't access it as a slave drive because it says I am unauthorized to view the files. Argh! Need more research to hack into that.
Anyways... I am counting the days until I come home to Manila. I am not exactly the most excited person to come home because of the many issues that I have to deal with here in the US. I don't know... I just hope I can really afford staying in Manila for a week. I know work will pile up as soon as I am gone... something I wouldn't look forward to when coming back here. =(

Use the "administrator" user account. Forgot how I did it with Vista but I once did it when I reformatted my OS partition and had difficulty accessing my data on the other partition. Scrap Vista, get yourself the Windows 7 Release Candidate
I'll try this when I get home. opppsss... my home now is Phoenix. I'm at my parents' house in Manila. =) Just a few more days of this humidity! So ready to go back HOME!
Thanks John!!!
