When my computer tries to boot it get a quick flash bsod that I can't actually see, then goes back to try to reboot again and again. I tried putting in a recovery disk hitting R because I don't want to wipe my computer. I can see all the files thru the c prompt but can't access anything.
just looking in the dir I can see a large windows update in the wee hours then all the main sys files were changed (sys, sec, sam, def etc)
I found one site that suggested renaming these files and copying the files from the recovery disk to the computer. but I can't rename, I can't create, I can't even access the cd-rom drive once I am in that "r" mode.
IT's so frustrating to see all my files and know that they are there. I am pretty confident I could just wipe and start over but if there is any chance to save my stuff....
help!
