Hey btgman,
Hitting F5 during boot-up should get you into the safe mode screen.
I usually pick the safe mode plus networking option. This allows you
to log onto the net, for driver & bug fixes, if needed.
Hope this helps,

GeForceX,
The same thing happened to my wife, during a Windows XP reinstall. We found a program called Restore 2000 Pro that recovered most (if not all) of her lost files. Check it out at: http://www.bitmart.net/
The program offers a free demo, that you can at least try, and see if it...
