Reinstall Windows XP Pro SP2 on C: — Will I lose files located on D: ???

by citruscove . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

Hi,

I was installing Microsoft updates and my computer locked. Upon rebooting, Windows said (something like this), “Autochk.exe not found” and went into a reboot loop.

I’ve tried numerous fixes to no avail, including the PTEDIT (07) fix, copying the autochk.exe from the Cd to the hardrive in the ASR repair, holding down any key to bypass autochk, running chkdsk /r.

At this point, I don’t have time to try more fixes.

If I reinstall Windows XP Pro SP2 on the C: drive — will I lose my data/files on the D: drive?

All my relevant information is on the D: drive.

Thank you in advance for your help. Please let me know if you need any more information.
