Do you have a Hard Drive that is dying or just some corrupt files. You can usually tell if your HD is going bad if you hear clicking as the drive searches destroyed sectors, if so let me know and DON'T TURN ON THAT HARD DISK DRIVE. You might only have a very few boot ups left in it. If the HD is ok and you have no computer knowledge, the easiest way is to take out the HDD and then set it to SLAVE and then hook it up via IDE cable in a working computer. I am assuming you have a limited amount of computer hardware knowledge. Your files should be viewable from another computer and you can copy all your data out from the working computer. If you still have problems let me know via email and I will try to help you.
