Hello,
dell xps windows 7 wasn't able to boot, just kept going throught loop to loading, then started over. purchased an enclosure and attached to another dell xps windows 7 but all that displays is a recovery file that gives warning dell recovery partition warning in red letters. there is also an xml doc that cannot be accessed either. i know i should have backed up but i didn't. have learned my lesson so no lectures please. i have tons of videos, pics, docs that are very special to me. this happened once before with an old sony and when I attached to another pc all the files just came up like they did on the sony. is there any way to retrieve this info off the dell?
