Hi, I have an Acer Aspire One netbook (running XP) which wont start.It loads until the desktop, then blue screen and restarts. I relaise reinstalling Windows would prob fix the problem but I have some stuff on it I need to recover (3 years of photos!). Im thinking booting the computer with a bootable cd with a data recovery tool using an external CD drive and ciopying the files to an external HDD.However this is a bit over my head!Is such a thing doable or am I way off the mark? Thanks!
