Boot failure after hibernation

My laptop last night was on battery and it was playing a music cd.
When the battery run out it went into hibernation. When I put the
charger on and press the button to start windows a black screen
appeared with a menu to choose (Boot Normally, Last Known Good, Safe
Mode etc). Any option I choose it appears to be trying to boot then a
quick flash of a blue screen with some message I can't read because it
is so fast, then it restart and back to the menu of the boot options.
Same thing every time. I'm very worried of losing my data if a format
is required to re-install the windows. Can you please help?

Thanks in advance!

try booting up with
your windows cd and
log into the recovery console.

when you get to the recovery
console command prompt run the
following commands:

chkdsk
fixboot

then "exit" and try to
reboot with out the cd.

the section on
"how to use the recovery console command prompt"
will explain the above:

if the above fails, you can
use you windows cd and
do a "windows repair".

this is better than a
"re-installation" of the o.s.

here are the instructions:
