The Ragin Cajun
Hi guys, simple question
Friends windows dead, so trying to copy files off it, before format reinstall.
Problem is when go in to doc and settings, can't access the folder says 'access denied'
the hdd is attached to my desktop via a usb hdd drive. I know you can normally unlock them by the machine with xp install, but xp is toast.
Anyone got any ideas.

Anyone know how to easily get rid of these stupid pop-up windows telling me that my PC is infected and I need to go to registry cleaner...
I have Anti-virus (AVG Professional) software so I know it's not a virus. I am running Windows XP professional.

Buy yourself a MAC and never have problems again!
Seriously, if you connect the drive to a mac you will be able to access all the files on the drive. You can even copy the corupt XP files from your cd onto the drive.. so you can boot the computer again.
it's just XP's rather silly protection system...

If you running firefox grab the adblock addon .. if you still get popups i would say that you have a nasty case of adware/malware on your system.

But AVG was the first I went to on the net after I got the OS installed.

That registry pop-up is basic adware/malware. These type of things are not virus related at all.
Install and run Spybot and Ad-Aware and between them they get rid of nearly all spyware related problems. Make sure you update them both after install as well.

What he said ... lol .. make sure you install adblock plus and the filterset for firefox as well.

That's syware!! You'll need to use something like Ad-Aware or Spy-Bot Search and Destroy. Note that the windoze version does NOT detect data mining cookies!!
