I'm running XP SP2.
After I installed hitman silent assasin, the display driver went into an infinite loop and the system restarted.On restart I get the above message.
I tried using teh recovery console but it isnt working.
And when i try to read c: from DOS, it gives some error and does not read it.
Is there any way fo restoring windows without reinstalling?
