PD - the odd thing is that SAFE is patchy - sometimes it runs, sometimes I get odd dots of light, othertimes now't. I'll keep going for a day or so but I feel it is pointing to a reinstall. At least I recovered the data! RE: Restore - see post #1
If you've got the data, and the installable apps' CDs and executables etc, the quickest and easiest thing to do would be to reinstall. No point tearing your hair out trying to fix it when you'd get a whole bunch of other tangible benefits from a fresh install.
