I have a PC that i built my self, and its acting weird...I let my friends
take care of my house while i was gone on vacation, and they must have nuked
it cuz now its going all over the place...The computer will boot EXTREMELY
SLOW and after about 2 hours of 'Starting Windows' and 'Loading your profile
settings' there is no start bar, and after i press Ctrl-Alt-Delete, i can go
to work and come back, because it takes around a excruitiating 34-76
min....I would just format the HD, and re-install Windows...But i have some
files i DESPERATLY NEED TO GET OFF OF THERE!
They are work files, and to lose them would mean a LOT of pain to my
company...
I need to know what can i do to restore my PC to normal..All i need is to
transfer files off of their and im happy....System restore wont open, i have
let it (try to open) for about 6 hours....no luck...Can sombdy please help
me?

Thankyou

Recover the files from your backup.

Place the drive as a slave into another computer and burn the files to
CD/DVD..

OR

Buy a new drive.. install a fresh Windows, and copy your files over from the
old drive..
