well i was in vista for the first time in god knows how long because i wanted to run 3dmark vantage. well when i get in to vista, i try to acces the folder that 3d mark is saved in (i downloaded it while in XP) and it says i dont have permision, would you like to gain permision. so i say yes, and now i cant get to any file in that whole folder and nothing i run in xp can acces any files in that folder. so i go into vista again to try to fix permissions, but my xp user name doesnt show up, so i cant give it permissions. ive tryed copying and pasting to a different folder in Vista, but it do says i dont have permission! how can i get these files back? there important, its my whole music collection im talkin about here!

That's really weird but I'd drop in a Knoppix LiveCD or something and get to it like that...perhaps not the 'proper' way but quick and easy.

yeah i was thinking that, but the only live cd i have here is an ubuntu one and it hates 8 series cards

I run ubuntu on my 8800 fine, just start it up in safe gfx mode (in fact its what I'm using now)

Ubuntu 8.04 fully supports your 8800GT no problems..................

Don't know about any of the brand new cards though.

thanks for the heads up bio, id been meaning to instal linux for a while but the hassle with the 8 series kept me from doing it
