yeh. i think i just did.

i opened a program, and bam. the pc blkuescreens and it now keeps restarting.

i guess there isnt anything else to do than formating it right?

He can't. Unless you can access the re-do tool from the Bios. because as soon as it hits the desktop it restarts.

schlurbi · Sun Oct 18, 2009 8:08 pm

how?

i mean: I cant even get to the desktop.

Bombaynoodle · Sun Oct 18, 2009 8:09 pm

What OS you using? and do you have the installation Disk?

schlurbi · Sun Oct 18, 2009 8:09 pm

Do you have the XP installation Disk? If so you may be able to boot from the disk and repair your system rather than reformat

schlurbi · Sun Oct 18, 2009 8:15 pm

i should have one. if i dont have one. i will tell you.

Can you not get it to boot into safe mode?

schlurbi · Sun Oct 18, 2009 8:19 pm

nope. Not even the safe mode works.

Re-install

If you need to back up your data, I recommend using Slax. I use it all the time at work to backup data from broken XP PCs. Must have done it 20 times now and each time worked like a charm. Slax is basically Live-USB (or CD) Slackware with NTFS support. Enjoy!

There are indeed Files I have to recover. Such as my Freelancer accounts and Photoshop Brushes.

Here is a link:

http://www.slax.org/

There is a button on the top-right of the page which can change the language of the page if you want to read it in German.

Or alternatively hirens boot disk

schlurbi · Mon Oct 19, 2009 8:53 pm

Now:

I tried the Back to Good etc. it didnt work.

Then I tried the Debugmode. I am now on me Desktop, but it somehow froze. It's now stuck. Cant do anything. But it did for a few moments.

Making small steps. Maybe I can save files tomorrow. I have some kinda Disk where you can save files already. It's just too late now.

At least it is progress.

Aaron and Nannal have given ways of file recovery without a working OS, try them if needed.

Nannal · Tue Oct 20, 2009 7:33 am

I however did not paint the angels around hiren's "it's the best damn" boot disk "of all time ever" as I should have done

Scottie · Tue Oct 20, 2009 1:54 pm

I can vouch for slax also, not used it for a very long time though.

schlurbi · Tue Oct 20, 2009 4:31 pm

People have mostly been playing Killing Floor recently, however the TF2 server can fill up if you get one or two people who want to play.

Me and Wynney just got quite a few people on the TF2 server.
