Date: 09/23/05 (Computer Geeks) Keywords: no keywords I am definently in need of some serious guidance. A few hours ago(it's now 4:12 in the A.M.) I awoke to find my PC(presario laptop) black screened with a little blinking cursor in the upper left corner. An hour or so before that the pc was working perfectly. So, I restart the machine and now the machine won't even boot into windows. It won't even get past the opening "compaq" screen. Everytime I restart it seems the condition of the HD worsens. I went into BIOS and ran the HD check and it passed. I then booted from the windows cd and went into the recovercy console. I ran dskchk and it essentialy told me that there are several unrepairable problems in my HD. So, I've come to the conclusion that my best bet is a reformat. However, before I do that I REALLY need to get a bunch of things off of the hard drive. This is prooving especially difficult considering the fact that I can't boot into windows AT ALL. I have another brand new powerbook G4 that I was required to purchase for school. With that being said, I was wondering if there is ANY way that I can retrieve my files using my MAC or any other way? I'm sorry if this sounds frantic but, I'm just slightly concerned and sleep deprived. Any and all advice and help is truly apreciated.
