Dear sirs,

I had my Windows XP update performed on 17Feb07. Afterwards, when I restart
the PC, I could not get the sign on screed even I tried to run "Safe Mode". I
could see only on the screen with Win XP logo without further motion.
Afterwards, I tried to fix it in accordance with KB310396 (Windows XP logon
screen does not appear and the computer continuously restarts) in the
Recovery Console. What comes worse is that I cannot see even the Window XP
logo now.

(1) Please enlighten me how to solve this problem to get back the sign on
screen.
(2) Or if I install another window in another hard drive, could I get those
folders or files that I made (locked) it private to become shared and back up
to my new hard disc. As I still have the Administrator's password, I believe
these folders and files were saved in level 2 security. Is it possible? These
files are important to me.

Appreciate to have your great help in advance.

Regards
Fiano

Have you tried selecting "Last Known Good Configuration" from
the Safe Mode menu? A lot of users installed a hardware update
last week and reported the same symptoms you're experiencing.
Selecting Last Known Good fixed the problem.

If you have to resort to installing a parallel XP installation
in order to recover your files, take a look at the following
articles. As long as they weren't encrypted, you should be able
to take ownership of your files.

Note: If you are running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, you
must start the computer in safe mode, and then log on with an
account that has Administrative rights to have access to the
Security tab. To start in Safe Mode, reboot your computer and
start tapping the F8 key as soon as you see anything displayed
on the screen. Keep hitting F8 until the Advanced Startup
Options menu appears. Use the up and down arrow keys on your
keyboard to select Safe Mode. Hit Enter.

Once you get your files backed up you might want to try running
a repair installation on the original XP installation. Take a
look here for more info.
