There's not enough info here, but let me take a shot...\n\n1) The PC is "fried"  This is actually the best scenario for you.  Simply remove the disk drive and install it in another computer.  Some computer shops will even take a drive and check it independently of the P.C.  If you live in the west, go to Fry's.\n\n2) Windows is corrupted.  This is also a good scenario for you.  If you have the Windows set up CD, boot from the CD and try to repair the installation.  I strongly suggest you check out Microsoft's and other's web sites about this, as there are various options.  \n\n3)  BAD NEWS is that the disk is corrupt or broken.  In this case there is not much you can do.  \n\nAs I said before, if you can remove the disk and take it to Fry's, they can tell you if there is data on there.\n\nIf you don't have one, I recommend that you get a CD burner and back up those pictures.

you may have turned off files tat windows needs to load in normal mode try getting into safe mode and restarting some programs in msconfig to fix it. If that doesnt work you can try windows restore but I persnaly am not to fond of that. If that doesnt work the next step would be to try to repair your installation with your windows cd

blue screen of death is your technical term..reinstall windows or replace harddrive then install windows but in order to do this you MUST have the windows disk..so unless you have a generous friend i suggest a trip to the store...newegg.com has it fairly cheap..the windows program....best of luck from a friendly computer repair technician:)

Go to add&#92;remove programs and click to uninstall explorer. It should give you the option of repair. Select this.\nIf this doesn't work, format the drive and reinstall your windows.

just reformat everything.  the windows o/s you have should boot automatically from your CD-ROM.  there are free utilities from majorgeeks.com to retrieve your lost data, even if you've reformatted the drive(s).  good luck, you're NOT an idiot.  everyone has had their computer woes.  how'd your Vista go?

Make sure your machine is setup to boot off of your CD-rom and then insert disc one of your system recovery set (or some name of that nature).  Follow the prompts on the screen with the realization that everything currently on your harddrive will be wiped out!  Good luck!\n\nDrop me a line if you need more help.

You need an original installation disc, or a set of system restore discs, one or the other of which probably came with your computer.

There are a lot of stuff to be said, it could be any:\n- Software Problem:\nError in Windows System Files\n\n- Hardware Problem:\nProcessor over heating\nRAM not working properly\nComputer fans not working properly\nHard Disk Spinning Errror\n\nI recommend trying to repair Windows through the Installation Media Source (the CD) by booting the computer witht the CD, then going into setup mode and choose repair.\n\nOtherwise, try backing up all your valueable data, format the Primary Partition, and reinstall a fresh copy of Windows...\n\nGood Luck

It happens, just go to 'my computer', then find the drive and double click, it will then start up. It can get annoying but windows is lame so what do you expect?
