card reader or dvdrw in safe mode

[chris_r]

Hello,

I am trying to back my broken laptop up ready for a restore, i have all the files in a folder, in safe mode i unable to use the inbuilt card reader or dvd recorder.

How can i get them to work so i can back it up?

I was gonna spend a few hours uploading them to a server and downloading but now the nets gone pear shaped

thanks

chris

Could try using BartPE, so you've got a full environment to copy the stuff across. I've always found safe mode to be a little bit limiting.
