you can transfer them to cd-dvd or flash drive or an external hard drive. then when you reinstall your operating system and get drivers back in then you will be able to transfer them back to the computer
help with xp
Hello! I have a question which might have already been answered, but I can't find it. I apologize in advance if this is the case. Please go easy on me, I'm new.:wink:
Ok, here's my issue. I have a gateway desktop, windows xp, that needs the operating system reinstalled. That I can do, my question is, is there any way for me to get all my pictures and documents off first? I'd rather do it myself than have to take it in somewhere. If they can do it, so can I. Does anyone know how or if it's possible?
Thank you in advance.

Do you know how I can do that? When I turn it on, it doesn't go anywhere because my OS isn't working.
Thank you for your answer.
Thank you for your answer.
you can take the drive out and temporarily attach to a working pc to salvage files . . it works best if you attach to the secondary channel, the one with the CD/DVD drives.
