since the front loader is giving an error?
if the back hoe won't dig in safe mode, try a boot ditch.
otherwise you may have to quit digging. sorry.

I have managed to get into my hdd by taking it out and putting it in a usb hdd chassis, and have backed up the data. All the data is there. I have read that the problem is possibly in the system hive /WINNT/SYSTEM32/CONFIG. and can be replaced with the repair hive. but how do i fix the old one?

By the way... what and how do you do a boot ditch? will this work so early in the boot sequence? mt error appears when u get the B&W screen bar starting windows. Can u ditch that early?
