Won't startup

Laptop locked up last night, and now will not get out of
boot up phase- just keeps cycling through. I can't get to
the blue login screen. Can I restore from f8? None of
the options in f8 will work! Help!
 
If you have a another partition try to install windows 98 on it. When you
are in windows 98 backup your files and Reinstall XP!
 
I don't have windows 98 and last time I reinstalled XP, I
lost everything!
I need to get my files.
 
Hey Jalipp.
I finally fixed my machine by booting to the XP CD and
taking the install windows route.
At some point it will ask you if you want to do a clean
install or repair the existing install.
Pick repair and it'll go at it for awhile and come back to
life in total.
At least that's how it went for me.
Good luck.
