My main Pc (desktop) has frozen. I tried to complete f10 recovery and after it had completed it is still frozen on Windows xp start page, it doesnt do anything? light is flashing and whirring noise as though something is happening but never starts.
I assume that it may mean my Hard drive has crashed? or that its knackered/broken.
If anyone can help I would be really grateful, am using laptop that i dont use for ahem! adult purposes normally.

Also i assume that even if I can get the thing to work again I will have lost all my files, pics/vids etc on old pc?? All my stuff lost......aargh!!!!!

Thabk everyone xxx wannabe
