No probably not. Next time You could take the hard drive out and put it in an external case, plug it into another computer to get the files off..most of the time this works. Then you can put it back and format it.

Don’t understand what to do?
I’m not that computer savy when it comes to this kind of stuff

If you have Windows Vista or Seven the instructions are slightly different! Please see that section in the article.

If you had blue screens showing this might mean hardware.. You should buy a POST diagnostic card to find the problem. Also here is an article about what the post card does..

if you want to save the data on your hard drive before you could try putting it in an external hard drive..

I am not familiar with the HP diagnostic.. Did you get to the recovery console in XP and type in fixboot?

Can you put the Windows operating system cd in and do a repair? It sounds like your hard drive boot sector is fine.
