Your post was helpfull, I havent tried the lilo/grub thing yet. Still cant recover files. I loged in to konquer as root with a password I created, (The same as on the hd install) I can now access the files (no locks visible). I have changed both partitions to have read/write access. I can listen to the files but when I try to drag them to the other partition It says theyre not readable. I don't know why.

Thanks in advance
