My windows xp can't start, how can I get my files in C:\

[steve]

Perhaps insert xp cd, boot from cd(or use boot disks), and
choose repair installation and then choose the previous
installation and then it will go through parts of setup
again. You dont lose any files. Perhaps a few settings
might change but nothing drastic.
