Re: Help! Non-booting computer

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

If you can access another computer ( friend, family etc) you simply
attached your hard drive as slave on their computer or
as master on the secondary IDE channel ( hard drive motherboard connector )
If you have to disconnect their cdrom drive
temporarily to make room that's fine. Just remember to hook it up again
after you finish transfering files. Once the files
are transferred you can burn them to a CD or Dvd if they have a cd/dvd
burner.

I know some about computers but by no means am I a computer wiz. A couple
of
days ago, I renewed my spyware subscription and antivirus. After running
a
complete sweep, I quarantined cookies & viruses. Said I needed to restart
computer to finish quarantine. After restarting computer, it would not
allow
me to open any programs, access the internet- nothing!! I then rolled
back
to an hour before I performed the sweep, hoping this would fix it!
However,
then after the black windows screen it would take me to the hp recovery
screen. I tried to enter safe mode- nothing. Now my computer turns on
but
does nothing! Is there any way to retrieve my files & pictures from my
hard
drive or has my computer crashed? Any help would be appreciated.
