Thanks for the link Noel to your one drive and fevzk if for any reason the drive should fail - hope it doesn't of course then to retrieve data you can use my little ditty to get most of it back - there is a Linux Mint method but I find this on easier - for me that is.

BOOTABLE UBUNTU

Make a bootable Ubuntu disk http://www.ubuntu.com/download

Set the BIOS to boot from the optical when themachine boots it will show you a screen with TRY or INSTALL >select TRY not INSTALL

When it is finished - it takes very little time youwill get a screen like in the pic .

Open the drive you want > User and dig downuntil you get to the data / settings you may be able to copy / paste thematerial you want to an external source or other installed drive doing this.

I am not sure if it will but I have recovered tonsof data etc using this method both on "dead" or just plain drivesthat you cannot get data from using Windows.

Oh bother!

That means that you'll have to get into the repair environment by using a Repair disk..
System Repair Disc - Create will help.
once you boot with the disk, follow the instructions above the same way as if you were in the repair environment

Thank you so much for the help NoelDP. This problem is solved. :)
also thnx ICIT2LOL I could used this METHOD tut for future uses.
