If the hard drive is full, clear some space.(run disk clean up)

locate and empty the TEMP folder.

Then

1. Click Start. Point to Settings, then click Control Panel.
2. Double-click the System icon in Control Panel.
3. Click the Environment tab in the System Properties dialog box.
4. In the Variable edit field, type TEMP.
5. In the Value edit field, type the folder name that will receive temporary files. For example, C:\TEMP (if the TEMP folder exists on drive C).
6. Click OK.

Hello

Well, the recovery disks won't allow you to go to your present system. The recovery disks are designed to put everything back the way it was when you bought the computer, minus all your applications and data. If it's your data that you need then a reputable repair service like mine can slave your hard drive to another system and recover all your data (not applications), provided the hard drive has not electronically or mechanically malfunctioned. Again, a reputable repair person can tell you the status of the hard drive.

Thanks
