One solution I have used in a case like yours.
If you have another hard drive put it in your computer and install the
operating system on it.
Then hook up the original as a slave and take all files you want to
save off of it or just copy them to the new hard drive.
Then you can put the original back and attempt a re install and if you
lose everything, you don't really lose everything. Jay-List Monitor
