I purchased a repair which claimed to fix problem and retrieve my files. I have managed to find my pictures using the mini windows xp programme on the disc, problem I have is that I can't remove my pictures, I've tried using a usb memory stick, usb data cable connected to my phone, usb card reader and I've tried inserting blank disc in the hope I can save pictures to that. I don't care bout my computer but I'm desperate to get my pictures off there because they are of my son when he was born and they mean a lot to us. Can you help please.

My computer just wouldn't boot up Windows XP. Using my little notebook computer I googled my problem, found your response and followed your very easy and clear instructions, used my XP start up disc typed in chkdsk and all seems back on track. It's a public holiday here today and our local computer shop isn't open anyway. Thanks computer whiz :) Hi…thankyou thankyou…I think you just saved me $$$$ at the computer shop!

The installation process requires you to press some keys to continue so you're going to have to get a new keyboard before you can fix it. There’s not much you can do without a keyboard.

Which is usually an indication that something is wrong with the motherboard or some other internal component. To troubleshoot unplug everything from the motherboard that is not necessary for the computer to turn on. So all you have is the CPU, heatsink, video, one stick of ram and power. Then see if it will show more than the Biostar logo, if it does than plug each component back in one at a time to find the culprit. If it doesn't work with just the bare minimum than their is a problem is with the power supply, memory, motherboard or CPU, in that order of likely hood. Sounds like your computer won’t event POST.
