Ok.
So I have Windows XP, and just a few weeks ago, my computer would not turn on.
Safe Mode doesn't work, nor does anything else.
I heard it's due to the hardware or something, and I was planning to reboot my computer (again) once I backed up my files.
Turns out I wasn't smart enough to do it beforehand dry.gif
The same problem happened to me before, but I at least was able to turn it on after the 15th or so time.
Now, it won't turn on at all ><
I'm panicking because I have so many important files saved on there and it's irreplaceable.
Any suggestions?

(I'm on my brother's computer now by the way.)

well you have many options

The basic one is to take the drive out of the computer then copy the files. There are external enclosures or you can open up two computers for the transfer.

Then do a xp repair install to get things going again. Hope it works good luck feel free to ask more.
