Will not start in normal mode
I was working on the Internet through MS Explorer (google.com) when a dialog
box popped up saying the Windows had a problem and needed to reboot. I clicked OK and Windows shutdown and tried to reboot. The screen went black, the hard drive light flickers and nothing happens. Let it run for 15 miniutes and still nothing. I rebooted in safe mode and Windows does boot up. I ran the 'Windows Repair' was told that it could not be repaired. Suggested running 'Restore'. I do not have the 'Restore' enabled so have no restore points. The system has a recovery partition (Drive D  but would not run from it. Had to run from the Recovery CD - I stop short of doing the complete OS restore until I can investigate further. If neccessary to total restore the drive, I am planning to copy everything to a UBS hard drive before. Any suggestions?

Did you specifically disable SR? If not SR is enabled by default.
