Windows XP Boot Error Blue Screen

So yesterday, I did a windows chkdsk and cancelled it manually half way through. This morning I tried to log on and got constant blue screens with lists of errors, none of the boot modes will work (safe mode, last known config etc). I have a windows XP home edition disk and I'm currently looking for a way around the error with the repair tool. The only other change I can think of is installing the SP3 update, but it ran fine after this. Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix it, preferably without formatting, as I will need to backup various files.

It may seem a silly question, but I would appreciate help as soon as possible.

Thanks!

 

I need to know what the Blue Screen say's, to help you, you can email me at sammey19@crawler.com! By the way it is not a silly question!

 

Wasn't successful

Could I try putting the hard drive into another pc and trying to access the files through the SATA driver?

 

The error is 0x00000024 (0x00190203,0x871CDA28,0xC0000102,0x0000000). No I haven't changed any software/drivers recently, If I try to install windows on D:\ could I access the files I need on C:\?

 

I think that error may necessitate a chkdsk /r or chkdsk/f being used on the c: partition if you slave the drive or install a second copy of Windows on D:. So be aware if you have trouble accessing data from a second installation of XP it could be either an ownership issue or a bad file system and pay close attention to any error messages.

If neither gives you access I would try a chkdsk /p from the Recovery Console(using your XP CD). I realize a repair install did not work but think I would try this anyway because the filesystem appears to be damaged. **This may well have been done during the repair process--I am unsure.**
