Hello,
Pre-amble
My Acer 530 motherboard went down.
I copied the disc contents (shadowprotect) to an Aspire1693WILMi
I cannot read the SD card slot without getting the deaded Blue Screen.

Question 1
Can I load the Asspire operating system and still retain my data?

if not Question 2
I have a full back up using Backup4All
Can I start from scratch and reformat my disc ; Load the Aspire operating system; And restore my data?

if not Question 3
Should I continue to run on the 530 Operating system.

If I were you I would take the hard drive from the Acer and install in in a USB HHD enclosure and get your data off of the drive that way.
