SAFE YOUR FILES BEFORE SYSTEM CRASH

SOLUTION:-
If your computer hasn't crashed yet, it will in the future.

1) BACK-UP.For back up you can use a CD/DVD or you can safe your backup in external hard drive or storage media.
2) Keep your computer free from viruses. Use an antivirus, an anti-spy, and a firewall. Keep them updated.
3) Don't install software that would do dangerous things to your hard drive. A boot manager would fall in this category.
4) Use a registry cleaner before and after you install or uninstall any software. Many of the problems that will keep Windows from booting are caused registry problems.here are some registry cleaner very effective:-
CCLEANER:- www.piriform.com/CCLEANER.
REGCURE:- www.regcure.com.
REGISTRY REPAIR:- www.glarysoft.com/products/utilities/registry-repair
5) Run chkdsk every week. Go to Start> Run. Type chkdsk /F. Press enter.

In case your PC has already crashed, read the following:-

To be exact you can still recover your data if you format your drive by using special software, but only if you don't write anything on the disc afterwards. In other words format + windows install = bad idea. If you reinstall windows without formating your drive, you will only lose the files on your desktop and "My Documents" folder.
In all occasions you should make sure to safeguard your files before attempting any kind of repair.
So let's go about how to do that:

Use Knoppix is a Linux distribution than runs from a CD. Download the Knoppix ISO and burn it. Put it in your CD drive. On startup access BIOS and change the boot sequence so that your computer boots from the CD drive. Save settings and exit. Upon reboot, Knoppix will load.

Knoppix is much like windows and it comes with its own CD burner. Locate it, launch it and backup everything you want on CD. Now you don't have to worry anymore.
The less fast way:- This requires that you have access to a second PC. Open the case of your computer and remove the hard disk.
Install it as a slave on the second PC.
Depending on respective configurations, you may have to change some jumper settings on the drive. Read the manual for help with installing hard drives and setting jumpers.
After this is done, boot the second PC. If everything went out ok, you should be able to access your drive without problems.
Copy everything you need from your own hard drive to the other one.
Replace your computer's hard disk, fix all problems and reverse the process to copy the data back to your computer, or take CD backups on the other PC.






thank you :)
