On looking at the F8 screen again did you want me to try
Directory Services Restore Mode, Debugging Mode, or
Safe Mode with Command Prompt?

path d:\windows;d:\windows\system32
d:
cd tools
pcrestore

Just to make sure at the command prompt I type(nospaces):

C: d:\windows;d:\windows\system32
then d:
then cd tools
then pcrestore

Is that correct?
