XP Windows loading problem

[Rcknrich]

Hello,

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I found this site right now and thought I would sign up to see if anyone can possibly help me out?

Recently, I got call from my mom saying she was having some computer issues with Windows XP not loading. I cringe but she has a low end E-Machine. I'm buying her a newer computer this week. Anyhow besides it being slow when she turns on the computer the Windows XP logo shows and the bar says loading but thats all it does. I just sits there trying to load. She has never had a problem until now.

I tried to many options such as, running a boot disk, going to safe mode, run from the last known windows configuration to disconnecting the hard drive and loading the restore disk and still get nothing. She has a WD 80Gig drive thats I need to access to take her stuff off that she needs for her work and transfer over on the new computer i plan on buying for her. I don't know what else to do. Any ideas?

Thank you for your time.

You can save her files on several ways....

1.

If you have Bart PE (live cd), boot it.... after a few moments you will get independent system console... In the bottom left corner you will find GO button... hit it and scrole to Programs, and find A43 File Menagement Utility... click on it and get HDD tree...

You can use USB Disk to recover her files, or you can use second partition (like D:\ ) copy all her files on it, and again install your XP on clean C: partition (Be careful with this... you can erase all your fies)

Download PE Builder Bart PE Builder (Create your own Bart)

2.

Can use boot your XP CD, on "Windows XP Professional Setup" hitt Enter, after that F8 - I Agree, and find Repair.... You wil need to reinstall your XP widouth formating your partition, after half an hour you should have repaired Windows....

3.

You can simply, and I say simply, take out your HDD, and putt it on to some other PC hehehe, (be careful with jumpers.....)

Good Luck!
