Hi all...looking for some help.
I have a laptop that just won't make it past the "do you want to start in Safe Mode" screen. No matter what I choose, it seems like the computer just restarts itself...not that it completely powers down...just goes right back to the first screen you see when you power up (where you can select BIOS).

So I selected BIOS and did a hard drive test and it said it failed. There is a lot of info I would like to get off that hard drive, but don't know how to go about it. I have a feeling that the boot sector may just be hosed and I still may be able to get the info off if I get a usb hard drive sleeve and hook it up to another computer.

I am not very computer savvy...just wondering if anyone has any suggestions?

Thanks.
