I need to replace my C drive and I used "PC Backup" to copy files to my 2nd hard drive but when I swapped out the old drive the computer won't boot. Microsoft is no help at all!

Go to http://bootdisk.com
They have dozens of different boot disk available that will let you boot from floppy, CD, USB, etc, and then be able to access the second drive.
The last time I was there, they were beginning to charge a small fee (couple dollars) for some of the disc.

have you ever tried downloading ISO documents for growing to be bootable CDs and burning them to a CD? i won't be able to undergo in strategies the internet internet site yet you could seek for it utilising the term "bootable CD". it would element you to web pages that furnish the loose ISO documents.
