My windows xp can't start, how can I get my files in C:\

[John]

hello,

Thanks for your help indeed~~~~ I am deeply worried.

My windows Xp can't start, it says that the fail of start
is due to some hardware or software problem... (I think
that it is just a common unclear message.) I tried all
safe modes, but i still can't get my windows started.

I then tried to use a MS-DOS startup floppy. I get into
MS-DOS. But I still can't get access to my C:\
since the "Invalid drive specification"

Anyone please please give me some suggestions, how to get
access to my hard disk. My assignment is in it. It is due
on Monday.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks a lot.

John.

Please try to use Windows XP CD to boot your computer. And
then enter the repair console to check the computer issue
again.
