Hmm, possibly. Had you already installed Service Pack 2? Some computers have problems like that, and if so, I think we might have hit why.
Anyhow, without setting up as slave (almost impossible in a laptop) I have no idea how your going to backup
If your recovery disk has a recovery console though, I've heard you can use this to rename the registry files, and this would, I've heard, create tempory ones to boot up windows if theres a problem. You wouldn't be able to run any programs, but it could be a chance for you to backup.
Also, you can download a file to go onto a floppy disc that will allow USB devices like a hard drive to load, as long as its FAT32 formatted, and you could then use the XCOPY function to copy whole directories to your personal hard drive.
So theres 2 ways, and the only ways I think are possible, because otherwise, I think your screwed and would have to reset the whole lot
If anyone knows how to implement my ideas, please post
