I had an issue with my PC in that I was getting an NTLDR is missing message at startup. I Googled for solutions, but as I don't have a Windows disk I decided to risk a system recovery. This went OK and I can get into my PC, but cannot access any programs installed since I got my PC in 2003, even though they are listed in Windows Explorer. My document folders are also listed, but only contain a temp file. Fortunately, I do have a fairly recent backup of these. If I go into DOS I can see everything listed and can even drill down to individual files.
The only system restore point is the one created by the recovery I did today, though there were originally restore points I created previously. I'm currently running Windows Update, which is likely to take some time!
Does anyone know how I can get access to the files that are obviously there and restore everything to the way it was?
Thanks!
