If you can get into safe mode and do a system restore you should be okay. You could also clear the cmos if you're really dead in the water by taking about the little battery for 5 minutes and reinserting it as well.
i cnt get into safe mode, if i press f8 i get the boot order i cnt find the option and, do you think that clearing the cmos would do that because it is a fault on the harddrive and not on the bios??? really need help lol hdfk
When you press F8 at boot-time, do you get a list to choose from? If you do, just choose "Restore my computer to an earlier time"(i think that's what the option is)
If you have an original Microsoft Windows XP CD (not by a 3rd party like Siemens or emachines), it should have a repair option on it.
