My friends computer was acting up so I said I would take a look at it.
I restarted the computer and got the screen of death.
I tried booting in safe mode but got the same message.
I inserted the OS disk did a repair with chkdsk, fixmbr and fixboot, then restarted and got the same message.
Since I can't even get in with safemode, I can't really back anything up so a complete reformat is an absolute last resort.
I can't think of anything else to do so I come to you all!
Thanks.
