My friend have a computer with Win XP that got a hard disk
crash. It hangs at start up and never logs in, just stay
at the light blue win xp screen. Before that It had real
bluescreen. When I connect the disk to another computer I
can access the data, files and folders but the problem is
that my friend need to access bank information and
financial stuff on the net. So he need to log in to banks
online and all these passwords and security certificates
are encrypted, either from the web page or through
software. These files are probably spread over the dwhole
disk and it will not help to just copy these files to a
new harddisk with a working OS. My friend dont want to
spend weeks requesting new passwords etc. I need to get in
to this machine the normal way. Recover, repair and other
tools are of no help.

Hi;
If and it seems to be here that "time is really money":
1- DON'T "screw" around with the system: Shut it down NOW.
2- Use the Yellow pages of the phone book: Computing/ Data Recovery Firms
....and get ready for a second system-shock >money-wi$e< and still THEY can
not always deliver.

???What needs be, needs be???

It's by the widest of margin the safest option but it is really expensive.
The friend may well reassess his priorities.
