When I switch the PC on it fails to complete the start up of XP before
powerig off and restarting.... over and over. Have tried:
- enterring safe mode (can't it just shuts down)
- the last successful configuration option (it runs... and then shuts down)
- booting from CD (it will do this but does not provide a repair
installation option at any stage... it takes me to a screen 6 which shows the
hard drive partitions whatever that means)
- I can get to the Recovery Console but am a little nervous.
(Have looked at
http://webcast.broadcastnewsroom.com/articles/viewarticle.jsp?id=8658-1, not
sure if this would help)
MAIN WORRY is losing my data if I do a full reinstall.
Greatful for any help (should have backed up that data... hence my 'name'!
