what meese says is surefire. that will get the data.
the only workaround for this problem that i have found is to install windows again OVER the old version... it will ask you when you boot if you want to install a new version or repair...
choose to install...
it will then search for previous version of the OS and give you the option to repair that version... this time choose repair. you will lose all the service packs and the critical updates and the such, but as far as I have found, the remainder of the OS is completely intact. accounts still exist and other programs still work just fine.
