Hello I have a friend who has a Emachines PC it has Windows Me Pre-loaded into it..

well yesterday he had me come over because his DSL was not working.. a big storm in chicago had temp DSL problems.. so i was told by an Ameritech Support rep.. to Reboot machine and the DSL modem..

So i reboot both.. and the Pc reboots but after the Emachines screen.. It goes to a black screen with a --- on the top left corner.. it goes away after a small period of time.. but the black screen stays..


The machine boots up in safe mode.. but not in normal mode..

I cannot reformat this machine I need to find a fix without reformating.. he has alot of music that cannot be lost

If anyone can help me find a solution for this please do I'll be for ever greatfull.
