*Sigh* More Bluescreen Fun.

[Mission]

So, its 1 week before exams and my laptop, ironically containing all my school information is getting blluescreens on start up. Its windows xp professional, NT?? i dont know...but i have to press CRTL + ALT + DEL then enter user/pass to log in. however just before that screen pops up, i get a nice fatty bluescreen. it says something about win32k.sys and then some other hardcore stuff that i cant read because my computer restarts before i can read it. im going to try and take a picture of the screen if i can, then ill post it.

EDIT: and yes, ive tried Safe Mode, same thing happens.

and heres the photo.

Is it a Dell?

Nope, its an IBM laptop.

So you can't get into windows at all? Did it come with an XP cd? I had to fix my friends Dell, he had the same problem but his restore stuff was on a seperate partition. If it did come with an XP CD run a repair or re-install but don't format as you will lose all your data. You can also try pressing F8 and hitting the "Last known good" configuration.

Nope, didnt come with a disk..and the use last config or w/e doesnt work.

Phone tech support and ask them how to use the restore function. Then go from there. Be careful, the restor utility might erase all your data.

I have the same problem with another computer, trying to install an XP upgrade from win98.

I'm formating the HDD (again!), and then I'm going to see if I can do a fresh install of XP without using win98.

Well there are programs you can get to recover formatted data. Just google it.
