Windows XP Home is not starting successfully?

[Guest Mike W.]

I was in a hurry and shut my computer off manually. When I came home to

restart my computer, I noe get a, " we apolagize for the inconvienence,

windows did'nt start successfully". I have tried all of the modes, and

nothing is working. Has my hard drive crashed, loosing all of my data? What

can I do?

 

Respectfully,

- What happens exactly after you see this message?

- What "modes" did you try? What happens in each case?

Have you tried Last Known Good Configuration?

If your hard drive crashed, it has nothing to do with you "being in a

hurry" and just shutting down the pc.
