Blue screen

[Guest]

Hi,
While booting my Win XP Pro computer it pauses and ask if I want to boot
normally, Last known good and several other options, if I select any of the
options it will start to boot and go to the blue screen and start the process
over again. The blue screen flashes to fast for me to get a stop error code.
This hard drive has 2 partitions C: where XP is installed and D: where all
the programs, mydoc, etc are installed. If I move the HD to another computer
I can access some of the files but not the important ones such as my
documents and others that are specific to that profile. The question here is
can I just format partition C and re-install XP in order to make this drive
operational again and have access to my files? Or what can I do to gain
access to my files on that machine? Prcessor is AMD 2800 and two memory
sticks of 512DDr 400

Please help...TIA

What happens when you try to access the files when the drive is slaved
in another computer? Get an "access denied" error? If so, take
ownership of the files:
