Windows

[Tommy Single]

Ok, I don't think it is the hard drive though, because when I used the
Windows XP recovery console, I was able to type in the command "dir" and it
showed everything that should be on my hard drive. But, I can't use the
recovery console to copy files to cds. Do you think that I could hook up
another hard drive???
