I was not able to get by the screen by clicking any of the options.

I used a windows XP boot up disk.

Once I was able to get to the dos prompt, i ran scandisk.

Whatever I did, it worked. When I rebooted, it brought me right in.

I made sure I backed up my hard drive ASAP.

Thanks for the help.

When I boot up, the screen gets stuck on:

We apologize for the inconvience, but Windows did not start sucessfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this.

If your computer stopped responding, restarted unexpectally or was shut down choose last known configuration:

choices are:

safe mode
safe mode with networking
safe mode with command prompt
last known configuration
start normally

No matter what I choose, it brings me back to the same screen.

I really hope it is not a bad hard drive. I have all of my kids pics on it along with other improtant documentation.

Thanks.
