Both of these guys had the same problem. There seems to be a multitude of solutions because of the many possible problems. Try everything suggested in the first link and RSVP.

 

its right when i boot

 

i already saw the second one but the problem is i cant even get onto the log in screen cuz it pops up and i cant get in to the login screen

 

and safe mod does not work for you either i guess. Do you have a restore disk might got a virus or spyware that has messed it up bad.

 

how do u get into safe mode? i do most likely hav a restore disk. will that wipe the files off cuz my dad is very picky and protective of his laptop.

 

found the recovery disk, but wat do i do?

 

65% done, or watever the first page of the recovery disk means.

 

is it possible to get all the files i lost back?

 

You used the recovery disk?

No.

 

If you used the recovery disk and did a clean install, the files are gone.

This post in a Linux forum mentions PhotoRec:

Don't know what OS you had, but PhotoRec does run on Win98 and earlier (not XP or ME):

Here's a blog of HDD recovery utilities:

I've not had any experience with any of them, so can't recommend any of them.

Good luck.

 

Moral of the story is " Dont mess with your Dads stuff"
Seriously, for your sake i hope you get it figured out, My kids wiped my desktop and didnt think i would notice it. I couldnt get mad because the looks on their faces when i turned it on was PRICELESS!!! They were like Oh S**T. Hope your Dad is as forgiving as i am.
