O.P. How to fix xp? cd rom doesn't work :(
Hi guys, I have a toshiba satellite laptop, I can't start windows xp on it, it was working fine but after uninstalling some stuff it hangs, I tried the safe mode, the normal mode, the safe mode with networking, and nothing, it just loads a few drivers and gets stuck, I thought I could repair thru the console but the DVD drive doesn't run the windows disk, I changed the settings in the bios to start from the cd but it doesn't, the disk is original, I tried an xp and a vista just in case, so I know it's not reading from the drive even thought the bios recognize it, so I tried plugging in an external DVD drive and boot from there, but it didn't work, I need ideas in how to get to the files in the hard drive, once there I can move files from the system restore to fix it up, please my super geek colleagues!
