I was having a probelm with my computer booting and I read this in another
post:

"The next time it does this, go into your control panel\administrative
tools\event viewer and then click either the system, or applications log, on
the left, to open the error reports, on the right, and look for any red X's
that correspond to the time of your reboot. Double clicking the red X will
open a details window, that will give you a clue as to the program causing
the reboot, or the problem\conflict if in the system log. Post back if you
need more help. {]:~)"

Well I can't actually boot up my computer but I can put the hard drive in
another computer and have access to all of the files. I am just wondering if
there is a log file or something that I can look at to see this same thing
without actually having to have that non-working OS booted up (since I cant
get it to)?? Please let me know. Thanks!
