My PC which will not get beyond the "XP loading" screen. It gets that far and just sits there. The recovery CD is just a ghost image and some diagnostic tools (which all say the PCs hardware is fine) but I do not want to lose all the data on the PC. I can get into safe mode fine and have tried to restore the system from various restore points and no of them work. In safe mode I can see everything ok. I am beginning to think maybe the the boot sector/MBR are corrupt or maybe some essential sytem files. However, I am not confident enough to start trying to fix the partition table/MBR/boot sector myself. If safe mode can see the partition ok surely it must be possible to get windows to boot up normally by re-creating the boot info, but i do not know how. Of course I accept that I could be totally wrong in my diagnosis, so any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
