Help, I need to retrieve pictures.

[wijit]

Guys, I apologise for starting a new thread about my previous one ( http://www.digital-forums.com/showthread.php?t=847221 ) but sadly my nephew died last weekend, and I am now absolutely desperate to get the photographs from my computer before I lose them. My problem is that I can't back them up in safe mode. Please take a look at the original thread, if there is any advice you can give which will help me I will be hugely grateful. I'm not bothered if/how much it would cost, that is no longer important, I just want to get the pictures myself as when I have taken a previous computer in for fixing in spite of assurances the swines lost absolutely everything. This is not something I want to contemplate now.

2 quick questions...

1) Can you access the folder (that contains the pictures) in safe mode?

2) How are you trying to backup the pictures in safe mode?
I.e. Have you got an external USB drive? You won't be able to write it onto a CD in safe mode, you need either a USB hard drive or a large USB stick.

Yes I can access it in safe mode, and view the pictures. I didn't know I couldn't "CD" them though, I do have a memory stick though. I will try that, thank you ever so much, if it works you have no idea what it means, not just to me.
