I have Compaq Presairo 2500 , and suddenly while working the screen frozed and i restart it by holding the Power botton .

then when starting .. it went to the page which ask if you want to log in to Safe mode , Safe mode with networking , start windows normally .... etc .

as soon as i click any of the options .. it will show the WINDOWS XP logo and then get a blue screen and start again from all over . and again will go to prompt page and so on .

i was about to re-install the windows XP again but i still hope if i can recover my data before formatting .

Hope there will be a solution to my problem .

Regards

Shater,
