Thanks Matt, Well it stalls in safe mode as well so I am stuck in DOS. I am still holding out hope for saving the contents of my drive, at least till I can back up what I need. I ran scandisk and all is well there so here it sit. I loaded the backups of the registry and that did not work much to my surprise. I may have to get pro help as it is the only PC I have.
Too bad... the 3.5" > 2.5" IDE adapter with the Lib's HDD in a desktop is also a super easy way to copy the entire contents of the drive to another drive on the PC as a backup. Or to run recovery software from a FDD, and recover seriously damaged file systems to another drive that might not have been recovered short of sending it out to an expensive recovery service.
But a local PC repair shop ought to be able to back up your most important data pretty easily, as it seems the files are all still there. Have you done a CD\ to various folders, and a DIR to see if the filenames at least show up? Then you can run edit.com from the FDD, and browse through the file system and open up any ascii text files to check their condition.
Matt
