Not sure how helpful this will be, but, you could boot with an NTFS floppy
to mount the filesystem so you could at least save your personal data...

Alternatively, plug in as a slave drive on a Linux box, mount the NTFS
partition and then copy the files off.

Have fun, Brianos

Subject: [THIN] Ot : WinXP pro help


Anyone out there a Wizard with Windows XP pro?  I have it on my home machine
and the machine locked up when shutting down a game.  After several minutes
of NO response, I shut off the power. Now when I try to boot, either in safe
mode OR normally or even Command prompt mode I get a startup screen, a brief
BSOD then the machine reboots.  I would LIKE to try a repair installation,
but I cannot find the Admin password, does anyone have an idea of how I can
repair this withOUT having to do a Restore from the default image and lose
LOTS of personal data?  

Right now I have the HDD pulled and as a slave in my work machine and am
running Disk doctor to see if I can fix any possible drive errors.
Please feel  free to contact me OFF list so we dont waste everyone's time
