Are you able to boot into Safe Mode? It keeps rebooting because it’s hitting a STOP error and you have it set to automatically reboot.   If you can get into Safe Mode then right-click on My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Startup & Recovery – Settings > under System Failure – deselect Automatically Restart. Reboot and now you will be able to see the STOP error with the file that ran into the error, which if it’s a driver you Can identify then you might be able to update/reinstall it, like a video driver or something, and you will also have the STOP 0x0 error which you can also google.   If you can get into Safe Mode ok, then try Safe Mode with Networking and try to move the data to a server.

Has anyone ever used the recovery console to bring a machine backup?   I jumped onto the internet to see what I could find and I found an article that mentions typing in: "disable mup" at the command line (after selecting the recovery option). However the message i got back mentioned that the registry had be come to corrupt.   My next option is to try and create a Automated System recovery disk - if found the process on the MS website (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;299526) however I'm not sure if it's machine specific. Am I able to go to a desktop that works and then create the recovery disk and then take this to the machine that's crashed?   Any help would be appreciated.   Cheers, Andrew
