OMIGOD someone help!!!! Arrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh
My PC has just gone mental ( not this one obviously)
It won't load up, it loads up Windows 2000 then goes black and says something like:
"authority shutting down system" or something, restarting in... 59... 58... etc.
then it says files missing and/ or corrupt.
I rang Dell and I think its a call centre in India as the person on the line couldnt understand me and I couldnt understand her, I rang back and got someone else who couldnt understand me and I couldnt understand her, she might as well have been speaking Russian, I think I understood the words "Dell" and "system." She even kept calling me Mr. as I said the PC is registered in my Dad's name.
Can anyone help?
I cant get into the system to even try re-formatting it. It was fine last night. If I have to ring Dell once more I might just launch this through my window.
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPP
Please I'm going insane!
I've rebooted it a million timesand it wont even start in safe mode
I thought about sticking a Windows disk in and reformatting it but theres are documents on my HD that I can't risk losing.
I thought about hitching up the HD to this PC and transferring files, but if its a virus, this is my Dad's PC and I don't want to ruin all his work on here. I mean he works from home so all his business stuff will mess up and I don't want that.
Any advice for a slightly clueless guirlie ??
