reinstall windows. maybe that would do something.
as for getting your windows files from linux, you need to do this:
open a terminal. it sounds like you're using kde so you should be able to get one somewhere on the k-menu or on the taskbar.
when you get a terminal do this:
<b>su</b>
it will prompt you for the root password, so type it in. then do
<b>mkdir /windows</b>
<b>mount /dev/hda1 /windows</b>
<b>cd /windows</b>
<b>ls</b>
this should list all of your windows files. if it doesn't, installation of linux might have messed up you windows partition, or something like that.
you can take one of two approaches now. first, you can copy the entire contents of your windows partition to /usr/win like this:
<b>cp /windows /usr/win</b>
or you can just copy whichever files you want
<b>mkdir /usr/win</b> (do this only once)
<b>cp /windows/<i>path&filename</i> /usr/windows</b> (do this for each folder/file)
have a lot of fun...
okay,
