MichaelThe whole system is about to die and will be replaced in a week or so. Evertything in this PC will be history. It can't be saved.
Get yourself a Belkin Transfer Cable when you get your new computer. Install the software that comes with it, follow the instructions, and you can transfer ALL of your files that you now have on your old computer into your new one. I did it when I got my new computer, and it worked great. All of my music, pictures and documents went into my new computer. The only thing it won't transfer is programs.
I think the cost is around $40.00, but it's worth it if you want to save your "stuff."
Good luck
