System Recovery Hangs Up on "Finish" Screen

[Guest]

I did Non-Destructive System Recovery on my HP last night. Everything was
fine until I got to the "Congrats" screen. When I click on Finish to restart
the system and boot Windows, it hangs up. I try shutting down and restarting,
it takes me to the same finish screen, then it hangs up again after I click
on it. Ctrl+Alt+Delete can't get me out of it, neither does ESC. Can anyone
help me with this?

Try unplugging all the devices except the keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
Namely the USB stuff and the printer though you can probably turn that off
and be fine. If that doesn't work than you may, potentially, be looking at
the destructive recovery as being your only other option though I'd
recommend exhausting all other posible solutions first.

I tried that and it still hangs up there. I can't go into anything else
(programs, safe mode) because it is frozen there. Even when shut down and
restart, it takes me back to the same screen and freezes up again after I
click Finish. Any other ideas besides taking the hard drive out and hooking
it up to another computer that has a functioning copy of XP, removing my
important items, then wiping out the harddrive and start all over again?

I have one last idea. Unplug all the extra things that you don't actually
need. Unplug the printer or at least turn it off, unplug any web cams, any
USB devices not needed, and try only with your keyboard, monitor, and mouse
plugged in.
