YEah - but, that's doesn't solve the main problem - that this PC won't
boot. Also, there is CG SW that's locked to that PC - and its Another
reason why I really want to get that PC running again.
It was initially suggested that I run a ChkDsk on the boot HD in
question - the do a Windows repair - to try and get it working again -
and keep all data & SW still functional - so, this is what I am still after.

Download a Linux LiveCD (or USB) and boot from that instead. If there is
not a hardware problem with the disk drive, you should be able to open the
hdd and browse for the files you need. Save them off to a USB tab, send
them to a shared network file share, or email them to yourself.

Hello there folks,
Here's the deal. I have a desktop PC that was my main PC - but, it died
several months ago. I have my laptop - which has been my primary computing
device for quite a while now - but, the desktop PC has some stuff on there
that's not on my laptop.
FYI - the computer does attempt to Boot up - and even starts loading the
OS (WinXP Pro 64) - and comes up with the MS logo. But, during the boot up
- it eventually fails and drops to a BSOD screen - which is always a lovely
thing to see!
Someone on the list here (although he hasn't gotten back to me in a while
- and I think he has been busy and hasn't been checking e-mails for a
while) suggested I connect the main boot drive to another computer - and
run ChkDsk. Well, I tried connected it to my laptop - but, the OS did NOT
actually "SEE" the drive. I attempted to actually connect it inside of my
wife's PC - but, when it booted - Same thing - it was like the OS could not
"SEE" the drive!
So - I'm getting kinda desperate here - and hoping someone can help me
out. Again - if I put it BACK in the original PC - it does attempt to Boot
- but, then the BSOD comes up...
TIA,
-K-
