I have another drive on my computer that I can't boot
from. It asks what type of boot to do (safe, last good
configuration, normal, etc) and whatever I click on it
displays one of those blue error screens for a split
second then reboots. I tried to back up the files that I
need off of it but they are all in my username file,
which when I click on, won't let me in and says it is
empty. It is some sort of security thing. Is there any
way around it?
 
Cameron;
Is this the computer the drive was originally loaded?
In any event a Repair Installation is now necessary:
Repair Installation:
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/tips/xp_repair_install.htm
Windows Updates will need to be reinstalled.
Data should be safe, back-up important data just in case.
Install Service Pack first and by itself.
Then install ALL Critical Updates no more than 4 at a time,

Disconnect the network/modem cable before starting repair and do NOT
reconnect the cable until repair is completed and firewall is
installed/enabled.
