surely you can just use the safe mode to get off any docs etc. if you want to try and take programs off thats not going to happen as theres lots of registry settings and files you will miss. if you still have problem in safe mode you could try one of the options here http://www.mypchealth.co.uk/GuideRecovery.php

Sounds like the hard drive is toast. To confirm, F12 at powerup, Dell diagnostics. Run an extended test on the drive. Any failure - replace the drive.
Once the drive is replaced and the OS is reloaded, connect the faulty drive to a secondary channel and see what you can copy.

Chunks79 seems to be advertising a business.

Not a business, just a rather mediocre support site. Wow, there aren't enough of those! :emotion-40:

John.
After reading the site more carefully, I have to agree. :emotion-4:
