When I boot my computer, it goes into a black screen that says the following...



"we apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this."



and so on.



Now, there is a counter that counts down from 30. If I let the count down go down it'll try to reboot and will take me back to this same black screen.



I also have the choice to click Start Windows Normally instead of waiting the 30 seconds. Again, it'll try to reboot and take me back to this black screen.



I can move the arrows up and down to choose either Safe mode, safe mode with networking or safe mode with command prompt. I have tried all 3 and again, it'll try to reboot and take me back to this exact same black screen.



Is there anyway I can fix this and move on to my desktop? Or is there any way I can retrieve some information from my documents?



What can I do? I don't have the restore discs. This is a Windows XP, HP computer.
 
Download the hard drive makers disk diagnostic utility and run a scan on the drive. You may have to put the drive in another computer to scan it. When you download the utillity, you need to burn the image to a cd and then boot to the cd.
 
the only thing under technical information is

stop: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x842A4820, 0xC0000102, 0x00000000)
