I have an acer aspire netbook which froze the other day while mrs using it, she powered it off but now it wont boot, it gets as far as the xp splash screen hangs a few seconds, the blue screen of death flashes up for a fraction of a second then it resets and tries to reboot again, this loop continues anyone any idea of what it might be, i'm suspecting hard disk but not sure, there is quite a bit of stuff on it that i would like to keep and also if i replace the HDD how do i get my os back on, theres no optical drive, there is the option to boot from network, is there an easy way to do this so i can remove my bits and bobs, (backup) after that i dont care really..
