    I have 3 huge problems
    I have recently fixed my computer after a blue screen of death (i think corrupt ntfs.sys file).
    I did this my recovery console and windows install (without formatting)

    I am tryin to keep my data so can you help?
    My problems are:
    No network connections in the folder, at all, with error message
    Nothing shows up in the taskbar when I open things and also wont let me open my own programs (however will let me open microsoft programs)
    Cannnot copy and paste OR do a backup at all of my data.

    I dont mind formatting the drive but I would really like to get my data off.

    I have a windows XP machine, ask if you need anymore info, ill be online most of the day

    Thank you

    hmmm, it was on selective startup....i didnt learn much about this in my A+ exam.... does it matter? i think i will change it to normal start up cos that loads all windows drivers and stuff

    Do you have access to another computer? if so, attach the hd using an adapter to the USB port in the other computer. Use windows explorer to find your data and copy it to the 2nd computer.

    As far as selective startup, if anything is changed using msconfig, you'd see the selective startup message.

    If you want to disable things from lauching at startup, rather than going through msconfig, use Startup Control Panel.
