Hello
When my computer is rebooting I get a massage:
Warning: Immediately back up your data or replace your hard disk drive a failure may be imminent, so I try to reboot and press F8 to go to Safe mod so I can back up my data but the computer dose not respond and goes back to that page with the warning statement, can you help me?
I would be greatly appreciated for all the help.
Jon
lo,

That message should be from the SMART disk monitoring function. Usually if it detects disk degradation it will report the error to you in wibdows so you can prepare yourself. For your OS to crash like that there must be something seriously wrong with your disk. You could probably retrieve your data but it doesn't look too good for the OS.
If you have a second pc try to mount the drive externaly and get your stuff backed up. Otherwise find a disk tool you can run off a CD to check and possibly access your drive.
Good Luck!
