Computer crashed and won't enter safe mode. How do I restore it?
I left my laptop running for a while when i left the room. When I came back it had frozen, I hadn't been doing anything untoward, I had been running a few programs at once, just like firefox and word. Anyway I had to turn it off with the power button. Then when I tried turning it back on I was able to log in but there was no desktop, just a black screen, same thing when I used safe mode. Now whenever I turn it on it goes to a disc check and when it gets to a certain number it says its unreadable and safe search just plain doesn't work. If you can tell me a way to get back to normal that would be great but it looks to me like the whole thing is pretty much f**ked and I'm gonna lose all my files. So is there anyway I could do a restore to factory settings (restoring to another time also didn't work) would that even help?
