I have this user's laptop that gets a blue screen that flashes so quickly I can't read it. I was trying a tip from here that showed how to reinstall windows xp without losing data. OF course my user has files that are not backed up anyhwere.

I am at the point that says:

a \windows folder already exists that may contain a windows installation. if you continue, the existing windows installation will be overwritten.

all files, subfolders, user accounts, applications, security and destop settings for that windows installation will be deleted. the "My Documents" folder may also be deleted.

HEEEEEELP!!!
