Hey worzelgummidge,

Safe Mode isn't actually a location where things are stored. It is just a "bare bones" Windows where only basic operation programs and drivers are loaded. What you might possibly need is info on how to locate these files in "Normal" Mode. Are these files stored on a different partition and/or physical drive (instead of C:\ they are on E:\ for example)?

Post back so someone at CTH can help you out.

Tom

Hi worzelgummidge, what Jintan said is correct. See what is 'Safe Mode' used for and why? (http://computer.howstuffworks.com/question575.htm).
