While downloading some windows updates, my computer crashed with the message on a blue SCREEN! about: kernel32.dll (or something lkek that) error needs to close to save disks...
Which version of the operating system? Which filesystem on the disks? It
sounds like you have a damaged
master boot record (MBR) on Drive 0. More information would help.
If all else fails, go somewhere with broadband and download
Knoppix (see my sig). Bootable Linux on a CD, it can be used to recover files and keep the long filenames intact (a boot or recovery floppy often won't).
