I am quite beside myself. We recently got broadband and I decided to leave the computer by itself to download a whole swag of Windows Updates. When I returned it had restarted itself and something was wrong.
A screen asks whether I want to start in the following modes:
- Safe Mode (with various other forms of Safe Mode)
- Last Known Good Configuration
The problem is that neither option will get the PC to boot, it merely restarts and goes back to that screen. The Last Known Config option displays a blue screen with lots of writing for a bout half a second before it dissapears.
How can I get Windows to boot? Do I need to do a system restore, if so how? This PC does not belong to me and there is important data on the PC which had not yet been backed up - I know, stupid mistake. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
