every time i try to start up my laptop it does the Compaq screen, then goes to the 'you have 30 seconds to pick the start up you would like' screen were i can chose 'Safe Start' or 'Most Recent Working Settings' etc. then it loads for a few seconds, and starts right back over with the Compaq screen. this goes on for ever if you dont shut the computer down. any suggestions? oh, and all my photos are on there:@

Picking safe start will allow you to see what is on the disk and allow you to fix up what is wrong (generally), however diagnosing what is wrong will be a little more difficult

pikcing safe start doesnt change the repeating cycle thing

Sounds like your hd is corrupted. Does it restart a few seconds after the windows logo comes up? Do you get a blue screen error briefly? I had this a few weeks back. Try booting with a windows cd cnd running chkdsk c: from the recovery console. Your data is most probabvly safe, unless the hd has failed, but if you get this far into booting it's unlikely.

Try to find someone who is experienced with BartPE bootdisk. Atleast, it might help you to backup all your photoes. (It worked for me)
