Long story short.
Power goes out, and comes back on. I restart my computer and everything
starts ok...then the Blue screen somes up saying something is write protected
or something.After restarting, I tried hitting the F8 were it gives the
option of starting windows in safe mode, restarting to previous good state,
or to start windows normaly.
NONE OF THESE WORK.

Is there any way to get documents or any othere type of files off of there
befor i try and reformat the hard drive?

Click to expand...

The blue screen indicates that the Operating System cannot function. It
doesn't indicate that there is something wrong with the file system
(although there could be). Your first attempt to recover should be to
attempt to repair the Operating System by using the installation CD. If that
cannot be done, try re-installing the Operating System. This does not
overwrite non-OS files. If this cannot be done, either put the hard drive
into another machine (with a working Operating System), or add a second hard
drive (with a working Operating System) to the current machine. Then you can
look at the disk with the bad OS on it and see if the file system is still
intact. If so, you can copy it off the disk. If not, it is also possible to
pay a company to recover the files on the disk, but this is expensive, and
should be your last resort.
