i posted on here yesterday about a problem i am having -
when i get to the welcome screeen and i click on my name
it takes me to my desktop picture and then brings me back
to the welcome screen and logs me off. i have tried
running it in safe mode but the same thing happens. i
also tried repairing my xp but it got halfway through the
installation and i got a warning. now it says one of the
system32 files is missing on start up.

the only two options i have are to totally wipe out my
computer (but i have exams coming up and there is soooo
much stuff i need on my computer) or if there is a way, i
need to transfer my files to another computer or cd or
something using ms DOS. is there a way to do this? i
currently have my dad's laptop connected to my computer
and i was wondering if there is away to transfer the
files using ms dos. YOU'RE HELP AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WOULD
BE APPRECIATED.
 
First, you should really post all of your messages in the
same thread. It really helps the person helping you give
you better support information. No one is going to chase
down all of your post to figure out the history on
everything you have done and what has been suggested to
you. On the other hand, if you post in the same thread,
they don't have to.

Can you get into Safe Mode? If so, you should go into
Safe Mode with Networking and copy the files over your
network. You won't have cd support to burn copies of
your files on a cd.

Also, did Windows XP come pre-installed on this
computer? If so, you cannot access the files using a DOS
boot disk. If you can access the recovery console, you
can copy files to a floppy disk. Of course you will have
a 1.44mb limitation which can be quite tough. You can
find instructions for accessing the recovery console

There is no MS-DOS in Windows XP.
