Bad Pool Caller

Hi All,

I'm having an issue with my compaq notebook, running win xp.

The other day my battery ran dry and since then, I have no longer been able to boot up into windows.

It is returning a dreaded blue screen with a 0x000000C2 error BAD_POOL_CALLER.

I cannot boot into safe mode...

I have tried running a repair from the xp disc & have tried installing another instance of xp, but in both instances it is doing the same thing...

Can someone please advise where i should go from here...

There are some files I definitely need to recover from the computer and would rather not do a clean install if at all possible...
