I have a Dell 700M and when I start it it goes straight to a message telling me of a problem and giving me choices to boot in different modes. All the modes lead to a blue screen and the computer automatically reboots. When I made sure it didn't automatically reboot, I was able to read the blue screen which would normally just flash in a second. The screen mentions something about an "unmountable drive" and leads me to believe that my hard drive has gone the way of the ancients. However, when I do reboot, I would always see the Microsoft XP loading page and that makes me wonder if my hard drive really is dead since I figure that since I see this XP loading screen, Windows is still working, thus hard drive may still be in tact.
It was suggested that I may reinstall XP and still be able to keep all my old files.
Any suggestions? I would really like to keep my old data.
