I am having startup issue for my Laptop, it stops at wecome message
and
in safe mode it stops at "loading your personal setting". I have data
on the c drive and do not want to loose.
I was thinking to reinstall Xp on the existing drive . will
reinstall delets existing data on c drive other than windows folder ?
perticualrly data in "My picture" ?

Please suggest me or other option to retrive the data.

Thanks,
sanjay
 
Hi

On the options screen before you try to get into Safe Mode have you tried
'Last known Good Configuration'?

yes tried this option also , but this also does not starts windows
completly.

Note:on my aptop the pressing F8 or Ctr key during startup does not
bring up the options menu for safe mode etc. once I got this option
and tried to boot as "last good configuraton" but did not starts
windows completly.

Thanks
