Windows will not load or recover, no safe mode.
Ok, so yesterday I tried to use the Win7 backup tool. I had a 200 gb hdd as a second drive that I usually keep copies of all my folders on. The backup utility said there was not enough space on that drive for a backup, so I formatted the drive.
At this point I decided to upgrade my bios using the ASUS tool that came with the motherboard. (Bios IS working.)
I went to restart after upgrading BIOS, and when it tries to load windows, the soon as it reaches the Windows screen it crashes, you see a quick "Blue screen of death" (I can't read it) and it goes to the windows boot menu. BUT it only gives you 2 options: Load Normally or Attempt to Repair. When I go into the attempt to repair, it says it cannot repair, and gives me this eror:
I tried restoring system image, (2 different ones) tried memory scanns, every single option short of a complete re-install. I have YEARS of photos I really don't want to lose... plus lots of music and videos.
Minimally....how can I get those files off, or is there a way to repair it????
PLEASE HELP!!!!
I had downloaded software from download.com and accidentally installed and uninstalled a toolbar from there. Not sure if that has anything to do with it.
