Hey, a good friday afternoon.
__
Today's patient hangs on a normal boot, and will boot in safe mode only as
far as the black safe mode screen. I can bring up task manager - all looks of
- but that is it.

It will boot to safe mode with command prompt - and there's lots of junk in
the windows directory.

Any hints on the quickest route to at least safe mode functionality?

Thanks,
Ed
 
hi

You could try replacing the registry (or single hive ) with a backup from the
%systemroot%\repair directory - you can do them one hive at a time if needs
be - you will need the recovery console to do this AFAIK

check this mskb for a step by step

chkdsk found some errors and fixed them, but that didn't get me any farther.
I'd try safe mode command prompt and see if you can run chkdsk
