Test the hardware to make sure it is good and if it is, try a Repair Install. If the Repair Install doesn't work, do a Clean Install. If you neglected to back up important data, it can and should be retrieved first. It is possible to retrieve data off a physically viable hard drive without booting into Windows. There are many techniques, but they all require having another computer and some equipment and software as well as a fairly high level of computer skills. You know your abilities; if you don't have what is necessary then take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your local version of BigStoreUSA) for diagnosis/repair. http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/...ardware_Tshoot http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm - Repair Install How-To http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html - Clean Install How-To http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/...alling_Windows - What you will need on-hand Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"
