Armand,

I updated couple of weeks ago SR2 on my Sony Vaio with Maxtor hard drive and Windows Media XP. Yesterday computer froze and after restarting it I saw message: "A disk read error occured". I got a set of Win XP Professional floppies and ran it. At the end it asked me to setup windows but when I inserted disk the message about corrupted drive would come again. Formating will not be possible for the same reason.

I don't know if I can restore my files ever from this drive. I would appreciate any help on this.

Thanks.

Roman
