| try booting in safe mode, hold down esc or F8 at startup. You might need to reinstall as a last resort (of course you lose anything not backed up). |

Its a pain but yes. You would need a 2nd drive with windows installed, boot from that drive, and you will be able access the other drive and copy off non program related files. |

| if he moved the computer.. and something happened.. what the hell is reinstalling gonna do? its obviously something to do with hardware. make sure everything is plugged in. hard drive to mother board.. check the power cables too. |

Settle down einstein. It wouldnt be a bad idea to check, but most likely the hard drive boot sector is damaged or a file related to the start up or registry is corrupted. I doubt it would get to the login screen and stop if a cable was loose. Think a little b4 you go spouting off. |
