Hi... can anyone tell me if you can make a Windows XP Laptop a Targetted Disk
Like you can on an Apple Mac (holding the T key)... and then attach using USB to retrieve
files before doing a clean install... a friends laptop has the dreaded blue screen and wont
allow the PC to boot up....
Jump to PostAs far as I'm aware, no. Can the system boot into safe mode? Is there a recovery partition?

you need to remove the harddrive and use a external device to hook it to another computer i fit will not boot to safe mode[hitting f8 on bootup]
If your friend's laptop had the BSOD than you should have a look at the hardware. It could be the RAM that is dying. If not I would suggest to you what caperjack has suggested.
